According to Saini, this however is not the first time that he is giving statement regarding Bachchan’s role in instigating killing of Sikhs. Earlier in 1985 he had submitted a written statement to the staff of the then Senior Officer of Delhi Police Ved Marwah, who was then investigating the November 1984 killing of Sikhs. Blaming Marwah for inaction, Saini stated that despite his written statement regarding Bachchan’s inciting violence against Sikh, no action of was taken against Bachchan by Delhi Police.
