Absent in court, Congress’ Rocky declared ‘proclaimed person’

On being contacted about the order, Tuseed told The Indian Express: “I have no knowledge about the order (of trial court).”

A Delhi court Friday declared Rocky Tuseed, a Congress candidate from Rajinder Nagar, a “proclaimed person” over his failure to appear before it in connection with a property defacement case lodged against him and three others during the DU students’ union elections in 2017. “Accused Rocky Tuseed has failed to appear before this (court) despite passing of more than three months and no representation has been made on his behalf.

Accordingly, accused Rocky Tuseed is hereby declared as proclaimed person in the present case,” said Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Purshotam Pathak.

On being contacted about the order, Tuseed told The Indian Express: “I have no knowledge about the order (of trial court).”
