In a major blow to the Delhi BJP government , a Delhi court has ordered an FIR against Delhi cabinet minister Kapil Mishra and others to investigate his alleged role in 2020 Delhi riots.
Additional chief judicial magistrate Vaibhav Chaurasia found a “prime facie” cognisable offence, requiring a probe.
It is clear that Mishra was in the area at the time of alleged offence further probe required, the judge said.
The complainant in the case is Yamuna Vihar resident Mohammad Ilyas who approached the court seeking an FIR against Mishra, the then SHO of Dayalpur, and five others, including BJP MLA Mohan Singh Bisht and former BJP MLAs Jagdish Pradhan and Satpal Sansad.
The judge was hearing arguments on a plea filed by a Yamuna Vihar resident Mohammad Ilyas, seeking registration of the FIR, which was opposed by Delhi Police, claiming Mishra had no role in the riots.
Reacting to the court ruling , Congress Spokesperson Supriya Shrinate tweeted on X
दिल्ली की BJP सरकार के मंत्री कपिल मिश्रा के ख़िलाफ़ 2020 दंगों के मामले में FIR होगी
दिल्ली की राउज एवेन्यू कोर्ट ने उनके खिलाफ जांच के आदेश दिए
उनके ऊपर दिल्ली दंगे भड़काने का आरोप है
क्या कपिल मिश्रा अब भी मंत्री बने रहेंगे?
