Delhi Riots 2020: It was clear from the conduct of the protesters that the riots were a planned attempt to disrupt normal life, the court noted.
The Delhi riots of 2020 were planned and calculated to cause disruptions and were not triggered by any incident, the High Court said while refusing bail to one of the accused in the case on Monday.
"The February 2020 riots were a conspiracy, planned and executed. They were not fuelled in the spur of the moment by any incident," the Delhi High Court said in strong remarks on the three-day violence that left over 50 dead and 200 injured.
The court said in the video footage submitted by the prosecution, it was clear from the conduct of the protesters that the riots were a planned attempt to disrupt normal life and the functioning of the government.
"The way the rioters disable the CCTVs proves that it was a conspiracy to disrupt law and order in the city," said Justice Subramonium Prasad.
