2020 Delhi riots ‘reminiscent of carnage during days of partition’, says court

A court here has called the 2020 Delhi riots the ‘reminiscent of carnage during the days of partition’, while rejecting the anticipatory bail petition of a man accused of attacking a boy during the widespread violence, merely because he belonged to a different community. Fearing arrest, Siraj Ahmad Khan had moved the court to seek anticipatory bail in the matter, claiming that he was being falsely implicated and had nothing to do with the alleged offence.
