A Delhi court has deprecated the Investigating Officer in a case related to the 2020 northeast Delhi riots for his “casual and unprofessional conduct” and referred the matter to Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora for appraisal of the investigation.
Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala was hearing a case registered by the Khajuri Khas police station under various offences, including rioting, theft, robbery and arson, against some persons.
“I deem it fit to refer this matter to the Commissioner of Police in order to make an appraisal of the investigation done by SI Vipin Kumar in this case as well as…conduct of misreporting the facts to his higher officer,” the judge said in an order passed last week.
