Delhi High Court Upholds Seven-Year Sentences for Five in 2020 Delhi Riots Death
The Delhi High Court upheld the conviction and seven-year prison sentences for five men—Aman Kashyap, Devinder Kumar, Pradeep Rai, Ashish alias Goli, and Arun Kumar—linked to the 2020 North-East Delhi riots. They were convicted of rioting and culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the death of 22-year-old Monish, who was chased and assaulted by a mob. The court rejected appeals citing eyewitness testimony, including police accounts, that identified the men as active participants in the attack, affirming the trial court's judgment and sentencing.
