Court convicts councillor in IB officer's murder case
A Delhi court convicted former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain and four others for the murder of IB staffer Ankit Sharma during the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots. The conviction stemmed from evidence suggesting Hussain was part of a mob with animus against Hindus who surrounded and brutally assaulted Sharma before disposing of his body in a drain. The prosecution presented extensive evidence, including video footage and electronic records, to establish this.
