Court pulls up police for shoddy probe in 2020 Delhi riots case

The Karkardooma court in Delhi has once again slammed the police for the shoddy probe in a case pertaining to northeast Delhi riots in 2020. The court asked the Police Commissioner to conduct an inquiry against the Investigating Officer (IO) who prepared the charge sheet merely based on “hearsay evidence”.

“....it is very painful that previous IOs literally wasted time of this court by filing report of investigation based on hearsay evidence,” observed Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala on Thursday.
