A lower court has pulled up the Delhi Police on its probe into the communal violence in northeast Delhi in February 2020. Additional Sessions Judge Dharmender Rana, during a hearing at the Patiala House Court, said, perusal of the case diary reveals a disturbing fact.

The court made the observation during a hearing on the custody of Jamia Millia Islamia student Asif Iqbal Tanha, who was arrested by the police last week. The observation is extremely significant since a majority of the arrests made by the police in connection with the riots, are those who were part of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
