The two men who lost their lives in the anti-Sikh riot frenzy on November 1, 1984, were Hardev Singh, who was then 24 years old, and Avtar Singh, 26. Delhi police had closed the case in 1994 for want of evidence. However, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) on the riots had reopened the case in 2015. - PTC News-
