India Today
Delhi Police on Wednesday arrested an accused who was wanted in two cases of rioting and destruction of property during the CAA 2019 riots.
An accused, who was being hunted by the Delhi Police in connection with two cases of rioting related to the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, was arrested on Wednesday, August 31.
Two cases of rioting and violence during the 2019 protests against the CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC) protest were registered against the accused, identified as 25-year-old Mohammad Sahil, in 2019. A reward of Rs 50,000 was also announced for information leading to his arrest.
The protests happened on December 15, 2019 in and around Jamia University against the then-newly enacted CAA. He had joined the rioting mob and was reportedly involved in the destruction of government as well as public property.
The case was transferred to the SIT Crime Branch. A total of 24 accused (10 arrested + 14 without arrest) were questioned and charge sheets were filed against them since their mobile locations were traced to the location of the protest.
On June 29, 2022, the court issued non-bailable warrants against five accused people, including Mohammad Sahil, due to their non-appearance in court. After he was named on the charge sheet, the accused had changed his previous address and was staying in hiding to avoid trial.
A dedicated team was constituted to nab the absconding accused. After dedicated efforts, the accused, Mohammad Sahil, was traced to Jamia Nagar and was arrested on August 31, 2022.
