In a major verdict in the 2020 Delhi riots case, the Karkardooma Court on Monday convicted former MCD councillor Tahir Hussain in the murder of Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer Ankit Sharma. Following his conviction, Tahir Hussain broke down in court and was seen crying.
Ankit Sharma was killed during the communal violence in northeast Delhi in February 2020. His body was later recovered from a drain.
The case was registered at Dayalpur Police Station on the complaint of Sharma's father. Along with Tahir Hussain, 10 others were named as accused in the case.
The Delhi Police filed a chargesheet under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code, including Sections 109, 114, 147, 148, 149, 153A, 201, 302, 365, 436, 505, 120B and 34.
Apart from Tahir Hussain, the court also convicted Nazim, Qasim, Anas and Javed. The five were held guilty under Sections 302, 365, 188, 153A, 147 and 148 of the IPC.
The court acquitted six other accused in the case.
The court is expected to issue its detailed written order on Tuesday, after which it will fix a date for arguments on the quantum of sentence.
