The Karkardooma Court in Delhi acquitted an accused while reprimanding the Delhi police for inappropriately grouping 19 complaints of Northeast Delhi violence into a single FIR. The court expressed dissatisfaction with the inadequate investigation of these complaints and instructed the Station House Officer (SHO) to initiate further inquiries, stated a report in ANI. This case is related to an FIR filed at the Karawal Nagar police station in 2020, initiated by a complainant named Shokeen.
In the judgment issued on October 31, 2023, Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Pulastya Pramachala acquitted the accused, Sandeep Kumar, giving him the benefit of the doubt. The court observed that although the prosecution established incidents of rioting, vandalism, and looting at Shokeen`s premises, it failed to conclusively prove the presence of the accused in the unlawful assembly responsible for these actions, the report added.
