The Supreme Court of India has asked the CBI to respond to Balwan Khokhar's plea to suspend his life sentence in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case. Khokhar, convicted along with Sajjan Kumar, argues he is a 66-year-old senior citizen with disabilities and health issues. The court will review his request for furlough and bail, previously denied by jail authorities and dismissed in February 2023.
