New delhi date. Monday 13 July 2020

Delhi Sessions Court has rejected the bail plea of ​​Tahir Hussain, accused in the Delhi riots and former Aam Aadmi Party corporator. Tahir Hussain had applied for bail in Delhi's Kadakaduma court but the court rejected his bail application.

The court said during the hearing of the case that a conspiracy was hatched behind the north-east Delhi riots. During the hearing of the case, the court said that the fact that the accused was present at the spot was enough evidence to provoke the people of a particular community.

The court said although he did not use his hand for violence but used the riot as a human weapon that could have provoked him to kill someone.

The court remarked that the violence in north-east Delhi was carried out in an organized manner and as a special conspiracy. The accused's involvement in the violence is being investigated and his links with PFI, Pinjara Road, Jamia Coordination Committee, United Against Hate Group and anti-CAA protesters are being investigated.

In February, IB's Ankit Sharma's family accused Tahir Hussain of murder. Tahir Hussain was accused of inciting violence in Karawal Nagar. Apart from the brothers and sisters of Intelligence Bureau constable Ankit Sharma, BJP leader Kapil Mishra also accused Tahir of killing Ankit.

Some videos and photos of the roof of Tahir's house went viral on social media. Large quantities of stones, acid and petrol bomb bottles and gills were visible on the roof.

Regarding the Delhi violence, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had announced Rs 10 lakh to the families of the deceased. It was also announced to give Rs 2 lakh to the seriously injured. People injured in the violence were treated free of charge.

Kejriwal said Rs 5 lakh would be given to the disabled, Rs 5 lakh to those whose houses had caught fire and Rs 5 lakh to the families of the minor deceased. He announced Rs 25,000 for rickshaw damage and Rs 3 lakh for children orphaned in the violence.
