A Delhi court on Friday sentenced former Aam Aadmi Party councillor Tahir Hussain and four co-convicts to life imprisonment for the murder of Intelligence...
Bengaluru Police have registered an FIR against an unidentified woman for displaying placards supporting jailed activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam during a student protest at Freedom Park.
The court recently found Tahir Hussain and four others guilty in the murder case, while acquitting six of the 12 accused. The sentencing is yet to be announced.
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.
Six years after IB officer Ankit Sharma was brutally murdered during the 2020 Delhi riots, a court's conviction of Tahir Hussain lays bare the evidence, dismantles his PCR-call defence, and reinforces the prosecution's case that the violence was a targeted attack on Hindus.
Tahir Hussain, who earlier admitted that he wanted to “teach Hindus a lesson”, has been convicted for the offences under Section 188, 153A, 147, 148, 149, 365 and 302 of IPC. The court convicted five other accused men for the murder of Ankit Sharma.
On 23rd March, Muslim organisations presented a joint representation to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, advocating Umar Khalid’s candidature, arguing that it would showcase the party’s commitment to ‘civil rights’ and address the issue of a lack of sufficient Muslim representation from Rajasthan in the Rajya Sabha.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Delhi riots were a planned conspiracy, not spontaneous violence, drawing a firm line between alleged masterminds like Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam and peripheral actors while upholding strict UAPA bail norms.
