Delhi Riots Case: Tahir Hussain, Four Others Get Life Term For IB Officer Ankit Sharma's Murder

A Delhi court has sentenced former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain and four others to life imprisonment for the murder of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma during the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots. While the Delhi Police sought the death penalty, describing the crime as a "rarest of rare" case, the court held that the prosecution failed to prove the convicts were beyond the possibility of reform. The judgment marks a significant development in one of the most high-profile cases linked to the 2020 Delhi riots.
