Delhi Court Rejects Plea for FIR Against Kapil Mishra in 2020 Riots Case

A Delhi court dismissed a plea seeking registration of an FIR against Delhi Law Minister Kapil Mishra for his alleged role in the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots. The court cited binding findings from a sessions court that set aside earlier orders directing further investigation, stating that initiating legal action without disclosing an offence is impermissible. The police had investigated Mishra's involvement within a larger conspiracy case, and the complainant was required to provide evidence for further proceedings.
