IIT Delhi forms external inquiry committee to probe student's death: ‘Profound sorrow, deep shock’

The Delhi High Court has dismissed an appeal by former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar against his conviction in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, following his death on August 20. The court had awarded Kumar two life sentences for his role in the killings of Jaswant Singh and his son Tarundeep Singh during the riots, which broke out after the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984. The case gained attention due to Kumar's death, leading the court to abate the appeal.
