The Delhi court has filed charges against Shahrukh Pathan. Shahrukh Pathan pointed a gun at a police officer during the fatal riots in northeast Delhi last year, saying that this was not a person or Ordinary cases where a group commits an illegal act.

The photo of Patan pointed a gun at Delhi police chief Deepak Dahiya (Deepak Dahiya) was widely circulated on social media. He was arrested on March 3, 2020 and is currently being held in Tihar Prison.

On Tuesday, Judge Amitabh Rawat accused Patan of attempting to murder, assault and obstruct public officials from performing their duties under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Weapons Law.

The court also pointed out that it has never witnessed riots of this nature since the deadly Sikh riots in 1984.

The court pointed out that the CrPC Article 144 injunction issued by the DCP (Northeast) also violated Article 188 of the IPC.

The court also filed charges against co-defendants Shamim and Abdul Shehzad because they were part of the rioters led by Pathan, claiming that they were rioting when they pointed their guns at the incident. The Delhi court pointed out that the two defendants have been confirmed by CCTV footage and witnesses.

The court also charged another defendant, Ishtiyak Malik (Ishtiyak Malik), saying that even if there is no video showing him rioting, he cannot be exonerated from the crime.

The judge said that from his call records, he had been in contact with Patan and added that his mobile phone was in the same location as Patan.

“The fact that the defendant Ishtiyak Malik @ Guddu was at the location or presence of the weapon-wielding riot, and the defendant Shahrukh Pathan opened fire on Chief Police Officer Deepak Dahiya and others. He has been in contact with him and shared the location of the riot, which is sufficient to constitute The charges against him,” the court said.

In addition, the judge also charged a Kaleem Ahmed (Kaleem Ahmed) with accusing him of harboring Pathan in Kairana, Uttar Pradesh, because he escaped after an incident during the riots.

“Based on the recorded materials, I think there are sufficient grounds to presume that the defendants Shahruk Pathan, Shamim, Abdul Shehzad and Ishtiyaq Malik @ Guddu committed crimes under Articles 147, 148, 186, 188, 353, 307 IPC… .. IPC section 149 and accused Shahrukh Pathan of also committing crimes under sections 25 and 27 of the Weapons Act, while the accused Kaleem Ahmed committed a crime under IPC section 216,” the court said.

Patan argued through his lawyer earlier that he just wanted to scare the police, not to kill him.
