A court here has acquitted 11 men accused of rioting, theft and setting a house ablaze during the 2020 northeast Delhi riots that broke out following violence between supporters of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and those against the legislation.

Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala said the police failed to prove beyond all reasonable doubt the charges in the case lodged on a complaint by Gokalpuri resident Naushad. Those acquitted are Sumit, Ankit, Ashish Kumar, Saurav Kaushik, Bhupender, Shakti Singh, Pappu, Vijay, Sachin Kumar, Yogesh and Rahul. “I find that the charges against the accused are not proved beyond all reasonable doubt and they are entitled to benefit of the doubt,” the judge said.
