Deliberate subversion of justice in Delhi riots cases, says Brinda Karat

The horrors of the north-east Delhi riots are still fresh in the memories of Mohd. Wakeel, a resident of Shiv Vihar, and Mallika, a resident of Bhagwati Nagar, a year since the violence destroyed their lives. Ms. Mallika fights back tears as she recounts February 25, 2020, when she last saw her husband, Musharraf, whom she hid in a box bed in their home before applying sindoor (vermilion) and fleeing with her three-year-old son. Mr. Wakeel’s scars do not even allow him to tear up as he lost both his eyes when a mob threw acid on his face.
