Special Judge Rakesh Syal has scheduled the trial and evidence recording for October 3.
A witness had previously submitted in the charge sheet that on November 1, 1984, Tytler came out from a white Ambassador car in front of Gurudwara Pul Bangash and incited the crowd by shouting, “Kill the Sikhs, they have killed our mother,” which resulted in the murder of three people.
The court directed that charges be framed for several offenses, including unlawful assembly, rioting, inciting enmity between groups, trespassing, and theft.
