Delhi Riots Cases: Misrule of Law and Police Accountability

• Five years after the Delhi riots, the justice system is slowing down.

• Out of 695 cases filed by Delhi Police, only 116 verdicts have been pronounced, with 97 acquittals.

• Courts have pointed out procedural lapses and fabrication of evidence and witness statements in 93 of the 97 acquittals.

• The police’s actions dent the credibility of the justice system.

• The police’s conduct during the riots led to serious allegations, such as being “driven by a bigoted mindset.”

• The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act has been deployed in several riots cases, relaxing the burden of proof and making bail difficult.

• The police and prosecution have attempted to link the riots with the 2020 protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), equating it with terrorism.

• The poor conviction rate in the fraction of cases where a verdict has been pronounced indicates the deficiencies and inefficiencies of the criminal justice system.

Law Misrule Delhi Riots is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
