CBI filed a charge sheet in May 2023, accusing Tytler, a former Union Minister, of "inciting, instigating, and provoking the mob" near the Pul Bangash gurdwara on Nov. 1, 1984.
According to the charge sheet, Tytler, who allegedly arrived in a white ambassador car, was accused of inciting the mob with inflammatory statements, including "Kill the Sikhs, they have killed our mother!" The resulting violence led to the deaths of three individuals.
In August last year, a sessions court granted anticipatory bail to Tytler in the case on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and an equivalent surety. The CBI has charged Tytler under Sections 147 (punishment for rioting), among other provisions, in relation to the case.
