Cross Examination by S.S. Gandhi, Sr. Advocate on behalf of Delhi Police

I had taken shelter in the house of my neighbour whose name is Sudhir and probably the number of the house is B-6. That house is situated on the Desh Bandhu Gupta Road. I had moved to the house of my neighbour on the same day ie. 1st November, 1984. I had stayed there for two to three days.

I had not moved out of the house during those three days. I had seen some smoke outside through the window but I was told by my neighbour not to lookout for the sake of my safety. I had shifted to my neighbor house at 9.30 or 10.00 am in the morning of 1st November, 1984. The prayers in the Gurdwara, where I was residing, was over by about 8.30 am.

No mob had come near the Gurdwara till the prayers were over. The neighbours had come in the Gurdwara and told us that there was a disturbance in the city and we should quietly go to our house along with our family.

No cross examination by K.K. Sud, ASG on behalf of Central Government

Read over and found correct.
