Responding to pleas challenging his appointment, Delhi Police commissioner Rakesh Asthana told the Delhi High Court on Friday that the petitions are not bonafide public interest litigations
He added the petition were only abuse of the forum of the court for some hidden personal vendetta to derail his career.

Asthana said that there is a malicious campaign propagated either through tweets or articles or shadow PILs against him. He also added that outside court the people running these organisations spearhead a campaign to malign him.

A Delhi court has observed that the standard of investigation in a large number of 2020 northeast Delhi riots cases is &ldquo;very poor&rdquo;.
The court made the observation while framing charges against one Ashraf Ali for allegedly attacking police officials with acid, glass bottles and bricks during the communal violence on February 25, 2020.
It pointed out that in a majority of cases investigating officers (IOs) have not been appearing in court and sought the intervention of the Delhi Police Commissioner. The court also added that IOs of the riot case have not been briefing the prosecutors for arguments on charges and are merely e-mailing PDF of the charge sheet to them on the morning of the hearing.
Furthermore, the court said the police hardly bother about taking the investigation to a logical end after filing half-baked charge sheets and as a result the accused, named in multiple cases, continue to languish in jails.
He also directed the copy of the order in this matter to be sent to the Commissioner of Delhi Police &ldquo;for his reference and directing the taking of remedial steps&rdquo;.

New Delhi, PTI: More than 200 educationists, filmmakers and authors, including Noam Chomsky and Mira Nair, have issued a joint statement demanding the Centre free Umar Khalid arrested in connection with the northeast Delhi riots.
Besides Chomsky and Nair, the signatories include actor Ratna Pathak Shah, authors Amitav Ghosh, Salman Rushdie and Arundhati Roy, and journalist P Sainath.
"We call on the Government of India to free Umar Khalid and all those falsely implicated and unjustly incarcerated for protesting against the CAA-NRC that denies equal citizenship rights and to ensure that the Delhi Police investigates the Delhi riots with impartiality under the oath they took as public servants bound by the Constitution of India," the statement read.
Khalid has been arrested under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in a case related to the communal violence in northeast Delhi in February this year.
"We stand in solidarity and outrage, with the brave young scholar and activist Umar Khalid, arrested in New Delhi on September 14, 2020, under fabricated charges of engineering the Delhi riots in February 2020," the statement said.
The statement said that Khalid "used the passion of his commitment to his country, marshalled his education and his voice to join the movement for equal citizenship, against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)" which introduced religion as a criterion for citizenship, and has no place in a secular nation.
The Delhi Police had on September 13 said it is investigating the role of all individuals who took part in the February riots and were behind the larger conspiracy of organising violence and inciting communal passion amongst communities.
Delhi Police Commissioner S N Shrivastava had last week said the force has collected documentary evidence, including scientific evidence, to support its case in connection with the riots.
He said that the police have so far arrested 1,571 people irrespective of their caste or religion and they are almost equally distributed among both communities.
