A Special Investigation Team, set up by the government for conducting a fresh probe into 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases, got an extension of one year. The SIT, which was set up on February 12 for six months, has been given an extension of one year, a home ministry official said.

As mandated under its terms of reference, the SIT is re-investigating all serious criminal cases of anti-Sikh riots of 1984 by examining records of all police stations -- Delhi as well as other states -- where the riots had taken place and also examining the findings of the Justice S D Jain and Justice D K Agarwal Committee.

As per its mandate, the SIT will also take appropriate steps under law for a thorough investigation of cases and file a charge sheet in appropriate courts with sufficient available evidence.
