CASR’s presence, alongside figures like Safoora Zargar, Asif Iqbal Tanha and Prashant Bhushan, highlights how individuals involved in anti-Hindu Delhi riots discourse keep resurfacing in organisations linked to protests, including those glorifying slain Naxal commander Madvi Hidma.
The Delhi HC stated that the observations of the trial court would not have an impact on any further police investigations or the trial of any accused in the matter.
Jamia Millia said that Safoora Zargar is instigating innocent students of the University and trying to use the University platform for her malafide political agenda.
In August 2020, Additional Solicitor General Aman Lekhi made submissions on behalf of the Delhi police in front of a division bench comprising Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Prateek Jalan. The Delhi Police had asserted that action taken by the police was necessary and proportionate to the violence unleashed by the mob during the anti-CAA protests.
A Delhi court observed that mobile data of some of the accused in the Delhi riots case cannot be permitted to be shared with the co-accused as it contained pornographic content and personal videos 'that may infringe their privacy'.
