Re-open 1984 riot case against congress leader Tytler: Delhi court

Additional Sessions Judge Anuradha Shukla Bajaj also set aside the Central Bureau of Investigation closure report which gave a clean chit to Tytler, claiming there was no evidence against him.

The court's order came on a plea filed by a riots' victim who sought further probe in the killing of three people near Gurdwara Pul Bangash in central Delhi.
