'Convict spread hate': Court holds man guilty in 2020 Delhi riots case
Millennium Post Delhi
|New Delhi 11July2025
A Delhi court has sentenced a man to three years imprisonment on charges of promoting enmity and public mischief during the February 2020 riots.
NEW DELHI:
Additional sessions judge Parveen Singh observed the convict did not deserve leniency as during the tense period, he "added fuel to the already simmering tensions" by spreading hate messages towards the Muslim community, and inducing people to commit crime against them.
The July 8 order said, "The fact, that during the tense period of February 2020, the convict had added fuel to the already simmering tensions by spreading messages which were intended to promote enmity and hatred for Muslim community and induced the members of the group to commit crime against Muslims, calls for no leniency and makes the offence very serious in nature."
