A court has directed the DCP of a particular area to “take immediate remedial action” on an unverified video against an accused booked for arson during the 2020 north-east Delhi riots.
Hearing a case related to the 2020 north-east Delhi riots, a court here recently directed the deputy commissioner of police (DCP) of a particular area to “take immediate remedial action” on an unverified video against an accused booked for arson.
The direction from Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat of Karkardooma Court came last week while hearing a matter related to the burning of some shops and a place of worship.
According to the police, the incident took place on February 25, 2020 and the accused were identified as Rahul Kumar, Suraj, Yogender Singh and Naresh.
They have been accused of being part of a riotous mob and booked under various sections of the IPC as well as Section 3 of the Delhi Prevention of Defacement of Public Property Act, 2007.
The judge took note of the fact that there was a public witness who had identified Mr. Kumar, while there was CCTV footage regarding Mr. Suraj and Mr. Singh. Besides, there was a video against Mr. Naresh.
“..... however, when the video was sent to CFSL (Central Forensic Science Laboratory), the report was received stating that the DVD was found inaccessible in video analyst system and, hence, no examination was carried out. The FSL report was filed by way of supplementary charge-sheet,” the court added.
It further said there is no other witness to identify if Mr. Naresh is involved in this case and it is inexplicable as to how the incriminating video, when sent to the FSL, was found to be inaccessible.
