On SA

I had filed an affidavit before Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission of Inquiry. A photocopy of it is shown to me. It bears my signature. Its contents are correct. I have nothing more to say. The same may be read as part of my examination-in-chief.

Cross examination by Shri S.S. Gandhi, Senior Advocate on behalf of Delhi Police :

The distance between my house and factory is about 100 ft. It is true that on the basis of the complaint an FIR was registered.

[ Mr. Gandhi states that the number of that FIR is 263/92 ] [ Mr. Gandhi also states that an general FIR was also registered by the police and its number is 414/84 ].

The police had recorded my statement during the investigation of FIR No.263/92 and I had identified the accused also. Thereafter I had not been called as a witness in the court. After the incident I had not returned to that locality and I had hired another house. I had not received any summons from the court. I had noticed two policemen on their motorcycle. They had come with the mob. The crowd was raising shots such as ‘ Maro’ ‘Maro’ – ‘ Mardiya’ ‘Mardiya’. The opposite house in which I had taken shelter was about 25 ft. away from my factory and house. I had seen the mob when it was 20 ft away. It is not true that I had noticed the crowd approaching from a distance of about 1000 yards. The policemen were with the mob when I had seen them. I had not seen the policemen coming along with the mob. After reaching the Gurudwara on 5.11.84, I had lodged my complaint/statement with the police after about 4 to 5 days when the police had come there.

Read over and found correct
