A Delhi Court today has dismissed the bail plea of Jamia Millia Islamia student and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) youth wing leader Meeran Haider who was arrested on April 1, 2020 in Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) case related to the Delhi Riots of 2020
The Delhi Police had filed chargesheet against them alleging that the Anti-CAA protests organized by them from December 2019 were part of a larger conspiracy behind the North East Delh riots which took place in the last week of February 2020 when the US President Donald Trump was on India visit.
Highlighting the position of law, a single-judge bench of Justice V. Kameswar Rao noted that “ the Court can not sit in appeal over the decision taken by the Search Committee.”
New Delhi (ILNS): The Delhi High Court came down heavily on Zee News for its irresponsible conduct of making public the disclosure statement of an accused in the Delhi riots case, when it did not even have the signatures of the accused.
During the hearing on pleas seeking investigation into police brutalities on Jamia Students, the Additional Solicitor General Aman Lekhi, the police counsel, said that Delhi Police’s action was justified and at par with the threat to life faced by the police.
