NEW DELHI, India—The Supreme Court appointed Special Investigation Team has revealed in its report that the Sikh passengers were dragged out of trains and killed at railway stations in Delhi during the 1984 genocide, but the police did not arrest anyone from the spot saying that they were outnumbered.
Notably, the Supreme Court of India had appointed SIT to re-probe 186 cases pertaining to the 1984 Sikh genocide under the leadership of former Delhi High Court judge Justice S N Dhingra.
Justice S N Dhingra has revealed in the report that there were five cases among these 186 cases, which pertains to the killing of Sikhs at the railway stations of Nangloi, Kishanganj, Dayabasti, Shahdara and Tuglakabad on November 1 and 2.
“In all these five cases, police was informed about the rioters having stopped the train and attacking Sikh passengers. The Sikh passengers were dragged out of trains and were beaten to death and burnt. The dead bodies were found scattered on the platforms and the railway lines,” the report said.
“The police didn’t arrest any of the rioters from the spot. The reasons for non-arrest were shown that the police was in very small numbers and that the rioters, after seeking police, had run away,” it said.
