Delhi Court Acquits Eight in 2020 Riots Murder Case, Convicts Seven for Prohibitory Order Violation
A Delhi court acquitted eight men, including seven named Kuldeep Singh and others, of murder and related charges in a 2020 Delhi riots case involving the fatal assault of Babbu, an auto-rickshaw driver. The court cited insufficient evidence, particularly unreliable eyewitness testimonies and poor-quality video footage, as reasons for acquittal. However, seven accused were convicted for violating a prohibitory order under Section 144 CrPC. The judgment was delivered by Additional Sessions Judge Parveen Singh on October 15, 2026.
