Delhi High Court Seeks Police Response on Tahir Hussain's Murder Conviction Appeal
The Delhi High Court has issued notice and sought a police response on former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain's appeal challenging his conviction and life sentence for the 2020 murder of Intelligence Bureau official Ankit Sharma during the Northeast Delhi riots. The court scheduled the hearing for December 2, alongside appeals from other convicts. Hussain's petition alleges flaws in the investigation, including a fabricated complaint and delayed inquiry. The trial court had sentenced Hussain and four others to life imprisonment, rejecting the death penalty despite the case's brutality.
