Delhi court rejects clean chit given to Sisodia

• Tuesday | 25th February, 2020

A+ A-New Delhi: A Delhi court on Monday directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to submit a fresh report on the complaint about Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s tweet alleging “police personnel of setting Delhi Transport Corporation buses on fire”. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vishal Pahuja, after hearing arguments in the matter, rejected the clean chit given to Sisodia in the matter and directed the commissioner to file a fresh report by March 17. Complainant advocate Alakh Alok Srivastava strongly objected to the Delhi Police report, which stated that no cognizable offence is made out against him. The court had earlier called for an ATR on the complaint seeking registration of FIR against Sisodia for allegedly spreading fake news during Jamia violence. He had alleged that the BJP had used the police to set buses on fire during the incident.
