Delhi High Court Upholds Convictions and Sentences in 2020 Delhi Riots KillingPreviousNext

The Delhi High Court upheld the conviction and seven-year jail sentences for five men—Aman Kashyap, Devinder Kumar, Pradeep Rai, Ashish, and Arun Kumar—involved in the 2020 North-East Delhi riots. They were found guilty of rioting and culpable homicide not amounting to murder for the killing of 22-year-old Monish, who was chased and assaulted by a mob. The court dismissed their appeals, citing eyewitness testimonies that placed them at the forefront of the attack, affirming the trial court's judgment and sentences.
