The Delhi High Court on Wednesday sought a response from police on a plea filed by former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain challenging his conviction and life sentence in the murder of Intelligence Bureau (IB) staffer Ankit Sharma during the February 2020 northeast Delhi riots.
A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Vikas Mahajan admitted Hussain’s appeal and listed it for hearing on December 2 along with other connected appeals.
