Babbar now says CBI under pressure, so he won't depose
WSN Network

New Delhi: A Sikh leader, Gurcharan Singh Babbar, has refused to appear before the CBI for recording his statement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases saying the agency was working under “pressure” and demanded replacement of the team probing the carnage.

President of All India Sikh Conference (Babbar), Babbar, in a letter to the CBI director Vijay Shanker, said he would not be joining the probe as the CBI team was working under pressure.

Claiming that Babbar had a “very-important statement”, supported by documentary evidence, to make, a press release issued by the organisation said Babbar will not join the CBI team until the CBI director replaced the team.

Earlier, additional superintendent of police (CBI) Manoj Pangarkar requested Babbar to join investigation today and record his statement. The CBI had issued him a notice under Section 160 of the CrPC and had asked him to join the probe on January 24, a date decided as per his convenience. He was then sent a second notice for today.
