The arguments were addressed by senior advocate Trideep Pais who told Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat that the chargesheet sounded like a television channel script.
 
 
Pais drew parallels between the statements carried in the chargesheet to Harry Potter villian Voldemort’s references among other examples to state that the final report filed by the police was “rubbish” and “no one should be arrested in this case”. According to the reports, his arguments could not be concluded and has been adjourned for Monday.
 
 
Pais began the arguments by stating that the “witness statements are being fabricated against me” and one protected witness was “speaking in forked tongues. One of the biggest theories is that there was a conspiracy on January 8. The protected witness, Saturn, either speaks under pressure or with a forked tongue,” Pais told the court.
 
 
Pais submitted that this protected witness has “made a different, inconsistent statement in another FIR, you cannot take it seriously. You cannot put statements in water tight compartments,” Pais told the court. While reading excerpts which stated that the CAA-NRC protests had a secular facade, Pais said that “it was the mind of the officer that was communal”.
 
“Not a single statement that it was a charade or that non-muslims were brought in to make it a facade. The movement was what it was,” Pais said as he submitted that it is their “effort to show me as a leader of imaginative movement which contributed to violence in Delhi.”
