Jasbir too claimed to be witness to the Nov 1, 1984, incident when a mob had set on fire the Gurdwara Pul Bangash in north Delhi, killing three people.

CBI also placed before the court audio visual evidence showing that Tytler was near the body of late prime minister Indira Gandhi at the time of the incident.

CBI, which had on April 2 sought to close the case against Tytler claiming there wasn't sufficient evidence against him, had questioned the jurisdiction of a magisterial court and sought the matter to be transferred to a sessions court.

The court, however, was not convinced with the CBI's arguments and decided to hear the closure report.

Over 3,000 Sikhs were believed to have been killed in riots in various cities following the assassination of Indira Gandhi on Oct 31, 1984.
