Two persons granted bail in Delhi riot case Court casts doubt on credibility of police witnesses
A Delhi court Tuesday granted bail to two persons in a case related to the north-east Delhi riots while casting doubts on the credibility of the two police witnesses in the matter.
Additional Sessions Judge Vinod Yadav granted the relief to Mohd Shoaib and Shahrukh on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 20,000 with surety of like amount in the case of alleged vandalism and torching of a shop by a riotous mob in Gokalpuri area.
The court noted that the prosecution was opposing both the bail pleas on the strength of their categorical identification by beat officers Constable Vipin and Head Constable Hari Babu in their statements recorded under section 161 (examination by police) of the Code of Criminal Procedure on April 7, 2020.
