Delhi Court Acquits Former MLA Nitin Tyagi in 2019 Assault Case
A Delhi court acquitted former Laxmi Nagar MLA Nitin Tyagi in a 2019 case alleging he manhandled DDA contract workers and obstructed officials during floodplain restoration. The court found the prosecution failed to prove charges beyond reasonable doubt and criticized the defence counsel's conduct for calling a key witness outside the courtroom. Charges included mischief, voluntarily causing hurt, and obstructing a public servant, but witnesses did not directly implicate Tyagi in these acts.
