"Shoddy, Callous", Says Court, Slams Police Over Delhi Riots: 5 Quotes

Delhi Police are trying to "pull wool over the court's eyes" and have displayed "no real intent to investigate the matter", Additional Sessions Judge Judge Vinod Yadav said

A furious Delhi court on Friday slammed police in the national capital over a "shoddy", "callous" and "indolent" investigation into the violence that rocked the city in February last year. The Karkardooma court's strong criticism of Delhi Police, which reports to the Union Home Ministry, came as it acquitted three people, including Shah Alam, who is AAP Councillor Tahir Hussain's brother, who had been charged with looting and vandalising a shop in Chand Bagh. The case against Shah Alam and the others - Rashid Saifi and Shadab - was filed after the Chand Bagh shop owner - Harpreet Singh Anand - filed a complaint after his shop was burned down. Violence broke out in the northeastern parts of Delhi in February 2020 after tension between supporters of the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act and those protesting against it.
