Riots case: HC rebukes police for arresting 3 men with ‘no evidence’ -Soibam Rocky Singh

-The Hindu

‘Hard to believe accused used riots to cause death of man from own community’

In a scathing remark over the way a north-east Delhi riots case has been investigated, the High Court on Friday rebuked Delhi Police for arresting three men from the minority community and objecting to their bail with “no evidence whatsoever, either direct or circumstantial or forensic”.

The case relates to the arrest of three men — Junaid, Chand Mohan and Irshad — in connection with the death of one Shahid, who died after suffering gunshot injury on the rooftop of Saptarishi building during the riots.

Justice Suresh Kumar Kait granted bail to the trio, who were arrested sometime around April last year, noting, “it is hard to believe that a communal riot can be used by the petitioners to cause death of a person of their own community”.

‘Long-distance firing’

The court said the analysis of the gunshot injury showed that there was no blackening, singeing or tattooing seen around the wound, which established the fact that it was neither a contact wound nor a short-distance wound.

“Rather it was a wound caused by long-distance firing, which indicates it was a distant shot fired from any building in front of Saptarishi and is at a distance, or it was fired from Mohan Nursing Home,” the court said.
