It was close to Nov 1 noon that my UNI colleagues Dipanker De Sarkar, Rajiv Pande and I chanced upon the Military Police officer near the Delhi Cantonment railway station where a young Sikh lay dead, close to the tracks. The officer told us to visit the Delhi Police mortuary to know the full extent of the savagery. "Why are you wasting your time going around the city?"
Professionally, I am glad we acted on his advice.
As we entered the mortuary at Subzi Mandi, we saw a man bringing a pile of dismembered bodies on a wheelbarrow. He would later tell us that he picked them up near the New Delhi Railway Station.
Placed all along the corridors of the mortuary were many more bodies - of Sikhs waylaid in various parts of the city and brutally killed, most of them not even knowing what their crime was.
