A Delhi court has acquitted 11 men accused of arson and theft charges in a February 2020 riots' case for want of evidence.

NEW DELHI:

Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala observed the two police witnesses who identified the accused persons in the case appeared to be "artificial eyewitnesses".

The prosecution alleged the accused persons were involved in theft, vandalism and arson in some shops on the intervening night of February 24 and 25, 2020. In an order dated May 14, the court said the core issue in the matter was the identification of the accused persons comprising the mob involved in the crime.
