1984 anti-Sikh riots: SN Dhingra-headed 3-member SIT to probe 186 cases

The Supreme Court today constituted a fresh three-member SIT, to be headed by a former high court judge SN Dhingra, to monitor probe into 186 anti-Sikh riot cases that followed the assassination of the then prime minister Indira Gandhi in 1984, in which investigations were closed. A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra asked the Centre to suggest names yesterday itself for its consideration and appointment in the proposed Special Investigation Team (SIT).
