Raju: second step was to remove the cctv camera,

Once CCTV were damaged and destroyed by 12:50 PM, large-scale mobilization and subsequent violence was orchestrated in North-East Delhi as per conspiracy. Rioters attacked Police in a planned manner at 01:00 PM. HC Ratan Lal was killed in this attack at Chand Bagh and two IPS officers namely DCP, Shri Amit Sharma and ACP Shri Anuj Kumar were injured in a brutal manner inflicting life threatening injuries in Chand Bagh. In the ensuing riots, One IB official Ankit Sharma was also killed. Rioters attacked on Police personnel with fire- arms, sharp edged weapon including swords, acid, stones etc. Sling- shot, fixed at roof earlier, was also used to throw acid bottles over the police personnel to get maximum casualties

Gulfisha Fatima, arrested for rioting and attempt to murder, was herself present in the meeting apart from being a regular contact of four more attendees viz. Mohd Athar, Zakir, Devangana Kalita and Tasleem.

Raju: On 23.02.2020, riots took place in North East Delhi but the conspirators still did not get their desired scale of violence as no murder could took place. So, the DPSG members Athar and Shadab again called a conspiratorial meeting in the night of 23.02.2020 at Mukhtyar’s house, Chand Bagh. Absconding accused Suleman Siddiqui and one Ayub were also present. Therein, Athar (DPSG member) informed that Nadeem bhai (DPSG member) is annoyed as he is not getting the desired scale of violence in riots due to CCTVs-they wanted a high level of violence- this is revealed by protected witness radium

Raju: reading the events that took place on 23 February. Protestors from Chand Bagh Mazaar protest site moved and occupied main road near Mazar and enacted Chakka jam on Wazirabad Gaziabad road. Protestors from protest at Farukhiya Masjid-Brijpuri pulliya moved and enacted Chakka-Jaam at Brijpuri T point on Wazirabad-Ghaziabad road.

court's audio, video connection is disrupted.

Raju: on economic security, 15 sub-section 1 [(iii) disruption of any supplies or services essential to the life of the community in India or in any foreign country]- milk, water supplies stopped, part of the conspiracy. Food security is covered within the definition of economic security contained under s. 2ea.

The intention was to cause havoc sofaras economic, and sovereignity is concerned.

J kumar: what is the charge?

Raju: there was a conspiracy, for the purpose of using violence, chakka, and the conspiracy was to choke assam from India

J Kumar: where do you find in the chargesheet?

Raju: in any case, they have chosen a safe path of not relying on chargesheet and not gone into merits. May I show the video of violence? sticks were found at one place, they took it and used and covered cctv cameras and once police was lynched, and one IB person was killed.

video of chandbagh protest is being played.

Raju: I played video yesterday statements made we will remove assam from India, the chickenneck area will be taken away- first part of Section 15 is attracted. economic security is also affected, and supplies are cut off. petrol bombs have been used.

See my counter, in West Bengal, protests escalated into riots in Murshidabad, Howrah, Malda, Nadia and North 24 Parganas. Incidents included the torching of five trains (notably at Lalgola and Krishnapur) and vandalism at four railway stations (Uluberia, Harishchandrapur and others). The state reported widespread property damage, with railway losses exceeding ₹70 crores. More than 300 people were arrested, and the Railways filed about 17 FIRs.

*Section 16(1)(a)

Raju: this order taking cognisance has not been challenged. See 43D(5) of UAPA Act, independently also I will also show the offence has taken place. If section 16 offence has been committed, they are not entitled to bail.

accusation is prima facie true [is the threshold] and since order of cognisance is not challenged, they are not entitled. Anyway, in umar khalid's case, the court has held that section 43D(5) is applicable and therefore, not entitled to bail.

ASG Raju: since 53 were killed, 513 were injured, there was a lot of violence- fire arms were used, petrol bombs, acid, sticks, lathis, stones were pelted.

First chargesheet 16 sep 2020, several sections of IPC 302, 307, 25 and 27 of Arms Act, 13, 16, 18 of UAPA etc. Cognisance taken on 17.9.20, Abdul Saifi, Gulfisha, etc-they were there in this chargesheet, 22 Nov, 2020 was second chargesheet in which Umar Khalid and Sharjeel were named.

Mylords kindly note the chargesheet was also for section 16(a)A of UAPA where there is no minimum punishment and is punishable to death. In both 17 Sep, and 24 Nov, both chargesheet cognisance was taken.
