The cops used a report aired on Ravish Kumar’s show to prop up its theory about Shahid Alam's killing. The Delhi High Court cited the report to disprove it.

On February 19, the Delhi High Court granted bail to three men accused of murdering Shahid Alam during the communal carnage in Delhi’s northeast last February.

In a chargesheet filed in June, the Delhi police had claimed that Shahid, 25, a rickshaw driver from Mustafabad, was shot dead by alleged Muslim rioters on the roof of an iron warehouse in Chand Bagh on February 24, 2020. And they had arrested the six accused men in March and April, the police added.

The police’s investigation had sidestepped a Hindu mob that stood on the roof of Mohan Nursing Home, a multistorey hospital 78 metres away, that day, with one rioter holding a rifle.

As the case plodded through the legal system, an NDTV India report from March 5, aired on lead anchor Ravish Kumar’s Prime Time show, became a crucial piece of evidence. The police used it to shore up their own theory but the high court relied on it to refute the involvement of three of the accused, Chand Mohammad, Junaid, and Irshad.

We sent the police a set of questions about its investigation and the high court’s ruling. The story will be updated if we receive a response.

This particular story begins in March 2020, when the police wrote to five TV news channels for help in their investigations into the carnage that had left 53 people dead.
