HC grants bail to four accused in north-east Delhi riots case

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted bail to four men arrested in connection with a north-east Delhi riots case, noting that there was no evidence such as CCTV footage, video clip or photo linking them to the incident in question.

Justice Suresh Kumar Kait said none of the four accused has been particularly named in the FIR. “Rather the complainant has specifically stated that he can identify a few of the rioters. It is a matter of record that the alleged incident took place on February 24, 2020 but the FIR in question has been registered on February 27, 2020,” the court said. “Besides, it is not disputed that the call detail record of prime accused Tahir Hussain does not match with those of the petitioners,” the court remarked.
