Jasbir Singh, who claims that former Union Minister Jagdish Tytler played a key role in instigating the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, is to depose before a CBI team in San Francisco city in the US.
A two-member special CBI team arrived here en route to San Fransisco to record the statement of Singh, who is now based in California in the US west coast.
Though Singh has been making these allegations for the past three years, he has repeatedly refused to return to India to testify before the special courts hearing the 1984 riot cases, saying he feared for his life.
Singh has alleged that former Union Minister Jagdish Tytler played a key role in instigating anti-Sikh rioters in 1984.
He has filed several affidavits against Tytler, an influential Congress leader of Delhi, before various Commissions, saying he was willing to testify before the court provided his and his family's safety was guaranteed.
The CBI team was also expected to record the statement of another witness Jasbinder Singh, who is settled in New York, but officials were tightlipped about it.
