A Delhi Court has framed charges against five people in a northeast Delhi riots case, saying in terms of the written complaint and statement of the witnesses, accused people can be allegedly said to be part of the unlawful assembly that purportedly used violence with weapons during rioting.
Additional sessions judge Amitabh Rawat framed charges for the offences of rioting, unlawful assembly, mischief causing damage to the amount of Rs 50, mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to destroy house, theft in dwelling house against Gurmeet Singh, Gaurav, Deepak Tomar, Raj Kamal and Vikram in the matter.
The case pertained to alleged vandalism and setting on fire of a barber shop by a riotous mob in Jyoti Nagar area during the communal violence.
The court said that the contention of the accused’s counsel regarding veracity of the witnesses was not to be judged at the stage of framing of charges and could only be considered after their examination during trial.
“In terms of the written complaint of Imran and statement of the witnesses particularly public witness Rafiq and Constable Bijender under Section 161 CrPC, accused people namely Gurmeet Singh, Gaurav, Deepak Tomar, Raj Kamal and Vikram can be said to be part of the unlawful assembly that used force/violence with weapons of offence in the prosecution of the common object of rioting/mischief...,” it said in the order.
It further said that there was violation of the prohibitory order under Section 144 CrPC
dated February 24, 2020, issued by DCP (NE), for the entire northeast
district of Delhi, whereby an assembly of more than four people and any
demonstration or carrying any weapon or material, which can be used for
violence in the area, was prohibited from February 24 till March 24.
The accused claimed they were falsely implicated in the matter.
