Delhi riots: Police to file separate chargesheets after court questions clubbing of FIRs

The police in their status report stated that complaints of rioting that took place in D and E blocks “will be investigated separately and in all these three incidents separate chargesheets will be filed”.

In this case, two accused – Neeraj and Manish – were arrested based on two complaints filed by the shopkeepers who alleged that their shops were allegedly looted and vandalised by the riotous mob during the communal violence.

While framing the charges, the sessions judge revoked the arson charges against the accused, noting that the shopkeepers did not allege the commission of the offence and that there is no CCTV footage.
