The Delhi High Court has refused bail to two persons who were arrested in a Delhi riots case related to the recovery of a 15-year-old boy's body from a drain in Gokulpuri area.
Justice Mukta Gupta stated that in view of the witnesses, who saw the petitioners - Ankit Chaudhary and Rishabh Chaudhary -- assault people of the other religion, no ground for their release was made out.
The judge added that since the petitioners resided in the vicinity of the place of the crime, their "tower location" as per call records was not sufficient to conclude that the petitioners were not present at the spot as they may have left phones at their residences.
As per the prosecution, the body, found to be of a 15-year-old, had injury marks on the backside of the head, was recovered from the drain on March 1, 2020.
