New Delhi : Over 200 people from the Sikh community gathered outside Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit’s residence Thursday afternoon to protest the decision to commute the life sentence of Kishori Lal — convicted for the murder of eight Sikhs during the 1984 riots, police said.
Kishori Lal, 48, nicknamed “butcher of Trilokpuri” in east Delhi, was convicted for stabbing many people to death in the neighbourhood during the riots.
Delhi Lt. Governor Tejender Khanna took the decision Sunday to commute the life sentence of Kishori LaL reportedly on account of his “good conduct” in prison.
