Delhi riots: Investigation standard 'very poor' in large number of cases, says court

A Delhi court has observed that police investigation in many cases related to the violence in Delhi in February 2020 has been “very poor”, PTI reported on Sunday. The court has asked commissioner of the Delhi Police to take “remedial steps” in the matter.

Additional Sessions Judge Vinod Yadav made the observations on Saturday while framing charges against a person identified as Ashraf Ali for allegedly attacking police personnel with acid, glass bottles and bricks during the violence on February 25, 2020.

Yadav expressed disappointment about the standard of investigation in cases related to the violence and observed that investigating officers have not been appearing in courts in most of the matters.
