1984 Murderer Of Multiple Innocent Sikhs Could Be Released

[Paneer Monster]

1984 riots convict’s sentence commuted

Kishori Lal (48), lodged in Tihar Jail since 1996, will soon be a free man. Lal, convicted of multiple murders in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi, is serving life term.

Acting on the recommendations of the state Sentence Review Board (SRB), Lieutenant-Governor (L-G) Tejendra Khanna recently commuted the sentence of Lal and 14 other life convicts to give them a chance to “reform and rehabilitate themselves” said a jail source.

The jail authorities had recommended Lal to the SRB because of his "excellent conduct as an inmate and the fact that at 48 years of age, he stands a chance to rehabilitate himself," said the source.

Lal and the 14 others need to furnish a surety and personal bond, each, worth Rs 10,000 to be released. The surety and personal bonds are to be submitted to the state revenue department.

Life convicts, who have served a minimum of seven years in the jail, are eligible to get their sentences commuted by the SRB.

The prison's spokesperson Sunil Gupta said, "This must be one of the highest instances of convicts' sentences getting commuted on the SRB's recommendations."

"The SRB includes the chief minister, who is the chairperson of the board, a nominee of the city police chief, a nominee of judicial authorities, chief probation officer and director general of prisons," said Gupta.

The recommendation for commuting a life convict's sentence is sent to the SRB by the jail authorities after procuring approvals from the concerned police and probation authorities.

While Lal has spent around 16 years in jail, 13 others, including a woman, have served between 14 and 20 years and another convict got his sentence commuted as he is suffering from terminal cancer.

Lal, a former butcher who stayed in east Delhi's Trilokpuri, had been accused of stabbing victims in the neighbourhood. He had been sentenced to death seven times by the lower courts. The Supreme Court, later, commuted them to life terms. Lal was among 25 people, convicted by city courts for offences connected to the 1984 riots.

could they rub any more chilli in the wounds of the widows and their kids, who are living in extreme poverty adn still demanding justice?

why should lal and 14 others have a chance to "reform and rehabilitate"? Lal was a butcher by profession, he went on a murdering rampage killing MANY during the genocide. WE SHOULDNT FORGET WOMEN WERE RAPED AND KILLED, CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 6 WERE RAPED. but this isnt important because the people who did these acts need to "reform and rehabilitate".

10 000 SIKHS KILLED IN DELHI ALONE

10 000 KILLED IN OTHER PARTS OF INDIA WHERE CONGRESS HAD A STRONG PRESENCE.

WHOLE FAMILIES MASSACRED. Politicians who lead the mobs and rewarded the mobs are still walking free.

LAL has only served 16 years for MUTIPLE MURDERS of innocent sikhs. The victims have been KILLED, and their families are living in POVERTY and are probably drug addicts due to the culture of the widow colonies. (the widows also say drugs are supplied by the delhi police)

while lal has only sreved 16 years for multiple murders of innocent sikh civillians, and is likely to be released.... WE HAVE SIKHS IN PUNJAB who have been imprisoned for NOTHING in 1984. They haev not even been charged with any crime, and the government has no intention of granting them release.

fun and games for some...

flamable powders left by indian gvt in HUGE quantities to burn sikhs with. hospitals in delhi were ordered to close their burns units (before the burning began).

gvt massacre of sikhs delhi 84... vaheguru

nothing to see here... keep on walking... just acouple more butchered sikhs

sikh homes and businesses were burntout after they were looted, and anyone found within was repeatedly and publicly raped and/or killed

one of 20,000+ killed... their crime.... being a Sikh in india

This congressi butcher should be made to suffer for his evil crimes but I cant think of a harsher way then letting him watch his family killed in the same manor he did against Sikhs and him tortured to death. Perhaps then hearts of the Sikhs will be cooled and justice will have been served a little. Karma one way or another will catch up with him, lets hope its sooner rather than later.

Where are the non-Khalistanis now then, who call Sikhs conspiracy theorists when they say the Indian government is against them?

This is adding insult to injury.

Justice has still not been done to the victims of the 1984 massacre

and hundreds of cold blooded killers are still roaming free.

A killer of innocent Sikhs who "had been sentenced to death seven times has been

rewarded with freedom.
