1984 anti-Sikh riots: SC seeks CBI's response on ex-councillor's plea for suspension of sentence

The Supreme Court has asked the CBI to respond to a petition from Balwan Khokhar, a former Congress councillor serving a life sentence for his role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, seeking suspension of his sentence. The court requested jail authorities to provide certificates regarding Khokhar's behavior and conduct. Khokhar's bail requests have been rejected three times previously.
