Not easy to record Jasbir Singh's testimony: CBI
WSN Bureau

The Delhi High Court has asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to respond to a petition by a US-based witness in a case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots involving Congress leader Jagdish Tytler. The witness, Jasbir Singh, wants his statement to be recorded in a court in the US. Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul asked the CBI to respond to the petition by February 27. Additional Solicitor General P.P. Malhotra assured the court that the CBI would not close the case while the matter was pending. The court asked the CBI why it was not interested in recording Singh's statement via video-conferencing. The agency replied that Singh's identity was disputed and it would not record his statement until and unless it was sure of his whereabouts in the US.
