    A single judge bench of Justice Suresh Kait of the Delhi High Court today reserved its order on the bail application of a Delhi riots-accused, Shahrukh Pathan Khan, who was arrested for allegedly firing shots at a Head Constable of the Delhi Police in Jaffarabad in the Delhi Riots 2020 violence.

    The Karkardooma Court (Delhi) in November had refused to grant interim bail to Pathan, whose videos showing him "firing shots" at a policeman, during the February 2020 Delhi Riots had gone viral on the social media/internet.
    Earlier, the Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat had rejected the interim bail plea of Pathan, who was caught on Feb 24 last year, brandishing a pistol with the temerity of firing and pointing it at police personnel Head Constable Deepak Dahiya, who was deputed on that day for law and order arrangements near Jaffarabad Metro Station.
    The instant case against Pathan was registered under Sections 147, 148, 149, 216, 186, 307, 353 & 34 IPC read with Section 25 & 27 Arms Act. After the said incident near Jaffarabad Metro Station, he had absconded, however, he was arrested by the team of Delhi Police Crime Branch on Mar 3, 2020 from the Shamli Bus Stand, Uttar Pradesh on the basis of secret information.
