Delhi Court Defers Sentencing of Tahir Hussain in IB Officer Murder Case
A Delhi court convicted Tahir Hussain and four others for the 2020 murder of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma during the northeast Delhi riots. The court deferred sentencing arguments to July 27 after Hussain's counsel requested more time. The defense was directed to file affidavits detailing the convicts' socio-economic status. The court described Hussain as part of a mob involved in rioting, arson, and the killing of Sharma in a violent assault.
