A sessions court hearing a case of the 2020 northeast Delhi riots has acquitted three accused of all charges, including vandalism, assault and arson as the prosecution could not prove them "beyond reasonable doubts".

The court was hearing a case against Dinesh Yadav, Sandeep and Tinku, against whom an FIR was registered on the basis of five complaints.

According to the prosecution, the accused were part of a riotous mob that went on the rampage on February 24, 2020 in and around the Johripur Ganga Vihar pulia near Bhagirathi Vihar.

“I find that charges levelled against the accused persons in this case are not proved beyond all reasonable doubts and they are entitled to benefit of doubt. Hence, the accused are acquitted of all the charges levelled against them,” Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala said in a verdict pronounced on Tuesday.

The judge said it was “established” that the five incidents that were reported were caused by an unlawful assembly, which committed rioting, assault, vandalism and arson.
