Complainant, Ankit’s father, had lodged a missing report when his son wasn’t found during the riots.

It was his case that his son was killed by Tahir Hussain and his associates, who gathered in his office and threw Ankit’s body in the drain after killing him.
“Tahir was continuously acting in a manner of supervising and motivating this mob. All these things were done to target Hindus. Every member of the mob assembled there participated in achieving the objective of targeting Hindus,” court said.

In an order passed today, court said: “Such conducts of the members of this mob, show that they were acting out of meeting of their mind and with a clear-cut objective in mind, to kill and harm Hindus.”

#DelhiRiots #TahirHussain
Court: In the present case, it was not necessary for all members of the mob to play some overt act in killing of Ankit Sharma. As per evidence, mob was acting in well prepared manner to attack Hindus and their properties, which signifies existence of prior meeting of their mind.
Court: Tahir Hussain also played role of instigator to kill Hindus and exhorting this mob as to not to spare Hindus. He instigated the mob, when Ankit came forward towards this mob.

#TahirHussain #delhiriots
“The conspiracy need not be specifically to kill Ankit. When the accused persons were acting in pursuance to conspiracy and common object to kill Hindus, it covered killing of Ankit as well for the reasons that Ankit was killed because he was Hindu,” court said.
