MLAs Akhilesh Pati Tripathi, Sanjeev Jha, and other accused were found guilty on September 7 by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Vaibhav Mehta of sloganeering and instigating a mob that attacked police officers.

A Special Court in Delhi, which hears cases involving MPs and MLAs, found two Aam Aadmi Party (APP) politicians and 15 others guilty of participating in an assembly, rioting, and injuring police officers at a police station seven years ago. They now face jail terms.

On the evening of February 20, 2015, a rumored crowd allegedly attacked police officers at Burari police station and caused property damage. The problem occurred after two guys were caught and taken to the police station, and the crowd sought their custody in order to reportedly beat them up.

The Telangana High Court’s judgment restricting CBI’s questioning of YS Avinash Reddy is overturned by the Supreme Court.

The Calcutta High Court has ruled that any form of penetration, even if it is minimal, during forced anal sex is considered an offense under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.

According to the police, they attempted to disperse the crowd, but the MLAs joined the throng, turned on them, and started throwing stones. The defence relied on 14 witnesses to establish innocence while pointing out “significant contradictions” in the testimony of prosecution witnesses, but the prosecution examined 24 witnesses to support its claims that the statements were consistent.

The defense counsel for the accused people contended that they had gone to the police station to diffuse the situation rather than instigating or provoking the mob.

The court emphasised the prosecution witnesses’ “constant” evidence regarding the two lawmakers’ attendance at the scene of the incident, which showed that they were not only “active participants, but in fact commanding the crowd.”

Additionally, it was claimed that the two individuals incited the crowd with the intention of “teaching police officials a lesson and overpowering the police by force” as part of a “common object of the unlawful assembly”.

Ten additional accused were acquitted in the judgement, but the MLAs and others were found guilty, including Balram Jha, Shyam Gopal Gupta, Kishore Kumar, Lalit Mishra, Jagdish Chandra Joshi, Neeraj Pathak, Raju Malik, Ashok Kumar, Ravi Prakash Jha, Ismail Islam, Manoj Kumar, Vijay Pratap Singh, Heera Devi, and Yashwant.

The charges of criminal intimidation and property damage were dropped, but they were found guilty of the offences listed in Sections 147 (rioting), 186 (obstructing a public servant from discharging of public functions), 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty), and 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence commit­ted in prosecution of common object).

On September 21, the court will consider the issue of sentence duration.

Lalit Pingolia, an additional public prosecutor, represented the State. For every accused person except Tripathi, advocates Murari Kumar, Rahul Ranjan, Gorav Sharma, and Achint Kumar are present.
