A Delhi court has come down heavily on the city police for conducting "further investigation" in a 2020 communal riots case after filing a charge sheet in a "half-hearted manner" and asked the officer concerned to appear before it with a written explanation. Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala was hearing the arguments on charges against three accused in the northeast Delhi riots case, where the FIR was registered by the Gokalpuri police station.
Noting that initially 25 complaints were clubbed in the case and the court in April last year had directed that only 17 complaints would be "entertained" in the present case, the court said the Investigating Officer (IO) had filed a new supplementary charge sheet on May 17, 2023, for prosecuting 22 complaints.
