Delhi Court Acquits Man in 2021 Badarpur Firing Case Citing Lack of EvidencePrevious
Next

A Delhi court acquitted Sujeet, accused in a 2021 Badarpur firing incident that injured a head constable and a civilian, citing insufficient evidence to establish his presence at the scene. The prosecution alleged Sujeet accompanied juvenile offenders and shared intent in the offense, but no witness identified him, and no test identification parade was conducted. The court found no proof that Sujeet fired a weapon or obstructed police duties, leading to his acquittal on charges including attempt to murder and assaulting a public servant.
