NEW DELHI, India—On August 10, the All India Riot Victims Relief Committee submitted a memorandum to the Special Investigation Team seeking investigation of statement given by the former DGP of Uttar Pradesh Sulkhan Singh about the involvement of Kamal Nath in the 1984 Sikh genocide. The AIRVRC head Kuldeep Singh Bhogal and Advocate Prasoon Kumar submitted this memorandum to the SIT members at their office in New Delhi.
Sharing the development with media, Kuldeep Singh Bhogal informed that the former DGP of Uttar Pradesh Sulkhan Singh had given a statement in the media in which he had confirmed the involvement of Madhya Pradesh’s CM Kamal Nath in the 1984 Sikh genocide. He added that they had raised the demand to call Sulkhan Singh as a witness with the SIT earlier.
Bhogal further informed that the SIT members have now informed them that Sulkhan Singh has said that he was not an eye-witness account of the 1984 Sikh genocide and had posted on Facebook on the basis of hearsay and what he was told by his friends at that time. He added that the SIT has informed them that Sulkhan Singh has removed that post now.
“We have still requested the SIT officials to investigate those people who had informed Sulkhan Singh about the involvement of Kamal Nath in the 1984 Sikh genocide,” he informed while saying that a DGP rank official can’t give an irresponsible statement.
