The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A Delhi court has sentenced Tahir Hussain and four others to life imprisonment for the murder of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma during the February 2020 Delhi riots.
- Sharma's family says the verdict brings no relief, with his brother Ankur calling the punishment inadequate and insisting the case deserves the death penalty as the 'rarest of rare'.
- The report recounts that Sharma was attacked on February 25, 2020, after returning home from IB headquarters, and his body with 51 injuries was recovered from a drain the next morning.
- The family has since moved out of their Khajoori Khas home, received Rs 1 crore compensation and martyr status from the Delhi government, but say nothing can make up for their loss.
What to watch next
- Delhi Police and the family's lawyer plan to approach the High Court seeking the death penalty for the convicts
- An appeal will also be filed in the High Court against the six people acquitted in the case
