1 gets death sentence in 1984 anti-Sikh riots: A ray of hope for victims

This is the first time a convict has been handed the death sentence in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots after the cases were reopened by the SIT in 2015.

Convict Yashpal Singh, who was accused of killing two persons during the anti-Sikh riots in Delhi's Mahipalpur area, was given the death sentence. The other convict, Naresh Sherawat, will be serving a life term in prison.

The verdict is seen as a ray of hope for the Sikh community and the victims of the riots.
