2020 delhi riots

A Delhi High Court rebuke over Nadeem Khan’s detention raises questions about preventive policing, judicial oversight and the consequences of ignoring alleged links to the 2020 Delhi riots.

Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai of the Karkardooma Courts noted that the right to travel abroad is not absolute and that the pendency of the UAPA proceedings against Natasha Narwal, who was associated with the anti-Hindu Pinjra Tod outfit during the riots, remains a relevant consideration. 

The court held the accused guilty of being part of an unlawful assembly and committing violence, arson, criminal mischief, and vandalism at the Bhajanpura petrol pump.

The conviction of Tahir Hussain is not only about ensuring justice for Ankit Sharma but also confirms what OpIndia has been saying for years: that the 2020 Delhi riots were not spontaneous but the eventuality of a pre-planned conspiracy hatched by Islamo-leftists.

The court relied on 17th February chats about road blockade and inciting violence. The timing destroys the narrative blaming Kapil Mishra’s 23rd February speech for the riots.

Upholding the findings of the trial court, the Sessions Court said that it was difficult to believe the prosecution material at its face value.
