Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi awarded life imprisonment to former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in the murder case of a Sikh father-son duo during the anti-Sikh riots of 1984.
The Delhi High Court had rejected a plea filed by Sajjan Kumar seeking time till January 30 to surrender as he wanted to settle family affairs related to his children and property.
Sajjan Kumar, who has been now convicted of murdering five Sikhs in the Delhi Cantonment area during the massacre of 1984, has stayed very close to the Congress party despite Congress party projecting otherwise.
