- Former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar was sentenced to life imprisonment for orchestrating the murders of S. Jaswant Singh and his son S. Tarundeep Singh during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, as ruled by Judge Kaveri Baweja.
- The prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Kumar incited the mob's violent actions, including the burning alive of the victims.
- Kumar is already serving a life sentence from a previous conviction for another case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, but families of the victims expressed disappointment for not receiving a death penalty.
- Despite the life sentence, Sikh community leaders acknowledged the ruling as a form of justice after 41 years, though some voiced concern over the leniency of the punishment given Kumar's actions.
