Police Pulled up By Delhi Court, Fined Rs 25,000 In Riots Case

The court also said the riots victim, Mohammed Nasir, could approach the law for action against the Delhi Police.

The Delhi Police has been fined by Rs 25,000 and heavily reprimanded by a local court for mishandling of a case linked to the riots of February 2019. The court also said the riots victim, Mohammed Nasir, could approach the law for action against the Delhi Police. Mohammad Nasir, who was shot in the eye during the riots, had complained against six people in his locality, identifying each one by name. When the police clubbed his complaint to a completely unrelated case, he had approached the Metropolitan Magistrate. The lower court upheld his petition and demanded the police file a First Information Report in the case, upon which the police challenged the order in the sessions court.
