Delhi High Court Rejects Pleas for SIT Probe into 2020 Delhi Riots and 2019 Jamia Violence
The Delhi High Court dismissed petitions seeking a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the 2020 northeast Delhi riots and the 2019 violence at Jamia Millia Islamia following anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests. The bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Manoj Jain rejected demands for independent inquiries, compensation, and FIRs against police and political leaders. The court reserved its verdict on July 24 and a detailed judgment is awaited. The 2020 riots resulted in at least 53 deaths and around 700 injuries.
