#DelhiHighCourt

Additional Solicitor General S V Raju opposes bail of the accused persons in a #DelhiRiots case: Herculean task to identify people through videography. If a person is identified it's a bonus but if he isn’t, that doesn’t mean he is not part of the mob.
Given the nature of offence, number of people running heater-skelter, videography may not have captured him. Just because they haven’t been identified, they can’t be exonerated: ASG
HC: People are not asking for exoneration people asking for bail.
ASG: Case has offence under S302 (murder). Ordinarily in a 302 offence bail is not to be granted. It's not a simple case. It is 302. Not a simple but grave offence. #DelhiRiots
