A Delhi court has granted two months time to the CBI to complete its probe in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case in which Congress leader Jagdish Tytler was given clean chit by the agency. <br/><br/>The CBI yesterday filed a status report regarding further probe in the matter before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Shivali Sharma who directed the agency to write to the High Commission of Canada for information on the case. The court posted the matter for July 11th for further hearing.<br/><br/>The court on December 4, 2015, had ordered the CBI to investigate the riots case against Tytler, pointing to arms dealer Abhishek Verma's statement that Tytler had tried to influence a witness, by sending his son to Canada. The case pertains to the riots at Gurudwara Pulbangash in North Delhi where three people were killed on November 1, 1984, a day after the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
