NEW DELHI: A city court here has come down heavily on Delhi Police for “miserably” failing in conducting a fair investigation on a complaint filed by a man who had received a gunshot injury in his eye during the north-east Delhi riots in February last year.
It has imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on the cops.
The court was hearing a revision petition filed by the police against a magistrate court’s order of October 21, 2020, directing them to file a separate FIR on the complaint of Mohammad Nasir, a riot victim. Additional sessions judge Vinod Yadav also lifted the stay on the magistrate court’s order and paved the way for registration of a separate FIR on the complaint.
