NEW DELHI, India: The CBI and the Delhi Police today agreed to appoint Special Public Prosecutors to handle the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases before the Delhi High Court, which directed the lower court to conclude the hearing of the cases within six months.

The investigating agency informed the court that senior advocates have been appointed as Public Prosecutors to handle the cases.

The agencies' response came after the Delhi High Court pulled them up for treating the cases in an insensitive way and asked the CBI director to appoint senior advocates as special public prosecutors on the lines of Gujarat riots cases.
