The present case pertained to the killing of a father-and-son duo, namely, Jaswant Singh and Tarun Deep Singh, by a mob, which was reportedly led by Kumar. He allegedly instigated and abetted the burning of the two victims besides causing damage, destruction and loot of their household articles and inflicting injuries on their family members.
The bail order observed that the offences were committed in 1984, underscoring the “long period of more than 37 years” having passed since then.
During this time, several cases were registered or re-registered against Kumar in the various parts of Delhi and the present case happened to be one of the related cases to the violence and also the only case in which the accused has been arrested.
Kumar was interrogated and arrested in the present case on April 6, 2021, while he was confined in Tihar Jail in the other case.
