Delhi riots happened under conspiracy: Delhi High Court said violence did not erupt suddenly after any incident in the capital, everything was pre-planned

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday said that the riots in the national capital in 2020 were pre-planned. The violence here did not erupt suddenly after any incident. The court made this observation while denying bail to one of the accused in the case.

The court said that the conduct of the protesters is visible in the video footage produced in the court. The riots were organized in a well-planned manner to disrupt the normal life of the people in the city as well as the government. The court said that the destruction of CCTV cameras also corroborates an already planned conspiracy to disturb law and order in the city.

Court did not grant bail to accused Mohammad Ibrahim

Justice Subramaniam Prasad rejected the bail appeal of accused Mohammed Ibrahim, who was arrested in December. The Court held that individual liberty cannot be used to endanger the fabric of civilized society. Ibrahim was seen in the CCTV clip threatening the mob with a sword.

The case related to an attack on policemen in Chand Bagh

This case is related to the mob attack on policemen during the riots in Chand Bagh in North-East Delhi. During the violence, Head Constable Ratan Lal died of a head injury and another officer was seriously injured.

The court had reprimanded the police this month

This month, a Delhi court had reprimanded the police for the Delhi riots. The court had said that the investigation of the worst riots after partition, as done by the Delhi Police, it is sad. This investigation has proved to be insensitive and inactive.

The scars of the riots are still visible

More violence took place in North-East Delhi's Chand Bagh, Khajuri Khas, Babarpur, Jaffrabad, Seelampur, Main Wazirabad Road, Karawal Nagar, Shiv Vihar, and Brahmapuri. There are still traces of rioting, arson, sabotage between the two communities that took place during the riots. After the riots, some people have come back on track again with government and non-government assistance. But some people are still not able to start their work completely.
