Enough proof, says judge; accused plead not guilty, claim trial
A Delhi court on Thursday framed charges of murder and arson against five accused for allegedly setting a man on fire at Ramlila Ground during last year’s riots. The accused have pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.
As per Delhi Police, five men shot Mohd Anwar and set him on fire at Ramlila Ground opposite his house in Delhi’s Karawal Nagar, as he was from a “different community”. The police stated that only a small piece of his leg could be recovered.
Additional Sessions Judge said that prima facie there is enough material on record to frame charges against the accused, namely Lakhpat Rajora, Yogesh, Lalit, and two men named Kuldeep under the requisite sections of the Indian Penal Code.
