On March 30, a local court in Delhi acquitted nine men, including Shah Alam, the brother of former Aam Aadmi Party councillor Tahir Hussain, in connection with the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots. The case involved multiple incidents of vandalism and arson, including an attack on an Innova Crysta vehicle and the burning of a police officer's motorcycle. However, Additional Sessions Judge Parveen Singh of Karkardooma Court ruled that the testimonies from key witnesses were inconsistent and unreliable. The judge noted that witnesses incorrectly identified the location of the incidents, stating that they occurred after Chand Bagh Pulia, not at the locations claimed. Furthermore, discrepancies in the dates of the incidents raised doubts about the credibility of the police witnesses. The court emphasized that the testimonies lacked specificity and were general in nature, leading to the conclusion that it would be unsafe to convict the accused based on such evidence. The ruling underscores the critical role of credible eyewitness accounts in ensuring justice in legal proceedings.
