1984 Delhi Sikh Genocide - Affidavits

Affidavit submitted before the Misra Commission

I, Sadhu Singh S/o Surta Singh, R/o 32/36, Trilokpuri, New Delhi, do hereby solemnly affirm and state as under: -

1. That I say that on 1st November 1984, at around 10 A.M.. I saw a mob of around 200 people throwing stones and burning the Gurdwara of 36 Block. I came back running to my home in 32 Block. The mob followed and came to our 32 Block.

2. From among the mob Rohtash from Chilla Gaon hit me badly on my waist with lathi, Kishori (Bhangi) from Block 31 hit me on my right hand with knife. Abbas from Block 32 hit me on left leg with 'Barcha'. I was left as dead by them. After some time around 1200 hrs. my brother came back home but Rohtas, Kishori and Abbas killed my brother with lathis, barcha, iron rods and Suar Katne Wala Chhura. Ram Pal Saroj, who was leading and inciting the crowd said 'Maro Salon Ko, Ek Sardar Mat Bachao, Bache Bache Ko Katal Kar Do.'

3. I gathered some strength. I went into my house. Then SHO from Kalyanpuri Thana and 2 policemen came. They said, 'Marte Jayo Aur Jalate Jao, Ek Na Choro.' I was watching all this from the big trunk in which I was hiding myself. The mob looted all my belongings. Mannu and Dropati came and showed a sword to my wife. They hit my wife on head by lathi. She was injured badly and they kept asking her about my whereabouts. Then my wife pointed towards the 15-16 dead bodies lying in front of my home and told them that see my husband is already dead. Then they left my house and went off.

4. In the evening at 7 P.M., I came out of the trunk and went to my relatives Sunder Singh's house in 30 Block. After I left my house, the mob burnt my house also. I went on hearing the words "Maro Sabko Maro, Ek Sardar Bacha Mat Bachao."

5. On 2nd November, 1984, at around 8:30 P.M., military came and they rescued us to Kalyanpuri Thana. The policemen asked me about the other Sikhs by promising that they will save us. One full police squad went with me to Chilla gaon. They saw all those goondas with lathis and iron rods. I took the police squad to Rohtash's house. Rohtash kept my sisters and relatives (around 25-30 people) mostly ladies at his place forcibly and did not let them go. With the help of police squad I rescued all my people from his house but police never arrested him.

6. On 3rd November with the help of Military we all were taken to Farsh Bazar. Since then I am living here.

7. Now if we go to Trilokpuri, Kishore, Abbas and Rohtas threaten us by saying "Salon Agli Bar To Jarrh Se Ukhaar Denge." They also ask the ration dealer to stop giving the ration to me. I can also identity other person who told me, "beta why do you come here" if you will come again, I will kill you to death.
