Five including two Bangladeshis send to judicial custody by Delhi Court in Seemapuri anti CAA violence

New Delhi, January 7: Inciting violence, creating chaos, disrupting peace by instigating false propaganda on CAA, many have been arrested as evidence clearly signify presence of unwarranted actions. In a latest, the Delhi Court on Monday remanded five people including two Bangladeshi nationals, arrested for allegedly causing violence during an anti-CAA protest recently at Seempuri in North East Delhi, in judicial custody.

 

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mona Tardi Kerketta sent the five to prison for two weeks under judicial custody after the Crime Branch sleuths produced them before the court. The accused, remanded to judicial custody, include Ghaziabad resident Mohammad Shoiab (19), Pilibhit resident Mohammad Amir (24), Seemapuri resident Yusuf (40), besides the two Bangladeshi nationals Mohammad Azad and Mohammad Subhan,

The court sent them to judicial custody as the police did not seek their remand for custodial interrogation. Apart from the five arrested, two juveniles too were detained and sent to the Juvenile Justice Board, a police officer said.

In the case, the police had earlier arrested 11 persons, who are currently in the judicial custody. The police gathered evidence through CCTV cameras in identifying the culprits behind the gruesome act. Delhi police’s crime branch had arrested five more men, and apprehended two minors, who had allegedly instigated violence in northeast Delhi’s Old Seemapuri last month during a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act that had left local residents and policemen injured. Police said they suspected two of these men are Bangladeshis but said they were yet to recover any supporting documents to prove their nationality.

Last month, police had arrested 14 men after the stone pelting and rioting in Old Seemapuri. Senior officers said out of the five men arrested now, two are from UP, one is a local resident of Old Seemapuri while the antecedents of two others could not be verified. Police said initial probe suggested the two men belong to Bangladesh but said they had not recovered any documents that prove their nationality.
