Delhi Court Convicts Five Men for Assault and Unlawful Assembly in 2020 Riots
A Delhi court convicted five men—Arif, Mohd Khalid, Abdul Sattar, Tanveer Ali, and Hunain—for assaulting police officers, obstructing public servants, and unlawful assembly during the 2020 northeast Delhi riots near Bhajanpura. The court found that a mob protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens attacked police, vandalised a petrol pump, and set vehicles on fire. Arguments on sentencing are scheduled for September 16, following examination of 26 witnesses and acceptance of substantial evidence by the judge.
