On Friday, a Delhi court dismissed the bail plea of a woman accused in connection with a case related to the murder of head constable Rattan Lal during north-east Delhi riots last year while stating that “even burqa clad women are clearly seen attacking the police party with sticks and other material in their hands and they clearly appeared to be charged up”.
Additional sessions judge Vinod Yadav rejected the bail plea of Tabassum, a resident of Chand Bagh of Delhi, observing that the call detail records of the mobile phone of her revealed that she was in constant touch with several co-accused.
The judge noted that “it is clearly evident that the protesters and organisers had motivated the mob and certain unscrupulous elements had surrounded the scene of crime and they appeared to be fully equipped with rioting material like stones, sticks, sharp edged and other sort of raw weapons.”
“It has also come on record that some of the persons of the mob had taken possession of the rooftops of high rise buildings at or around 25 feet road, having firearms and other rioting material with them,” the judge noted.
The bail plea had been opposed by the police saying Tabassum used to share stage with other protesters and instigate the gathering against the government, which ultimately led to violence on February 24 last year thereby resulting in death of more than 50 people in north-east Delhi, including head constable Rattan Lal.
