Red Fort

The Supreme Court today ...

The Delhi Tis Hazari Court relied on the order of the Supreme Court of India in the Suo Moto Writ Petition taking stock of the prevailing situation arising from unprecedented surge in and spiraling cases in the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic.

This is the second case relating to the said violence in which Sidhu has been granted bail in connection with the violence that occurred in and around Red Fort on January 26.

"FIR says people broke the gates and climbed the rampart at 12:30. He reached there after 2 pm," he argued.

The observation came in while the court was hearing an application filed by the Punjabi singer-actor to preserve the CCTV footage of the Red Fort.

Deep Sidhu, who is accused of instigating the crowds to enter Red Fort said he was only helping out the police in pacifying the crowd.

During sustained interrogation, he revealed that he ran that news channel on which there's a 1 hr 15 min live. After the arguments, the court sent Singh to seven days police custody and directed them to produce him before the court next on February 18.

The counsel for the accused submitted that he has been falsely implicated in this case. He said he was just a bystander at the spot of occurrence.

The miscreants attacked the police and paramilitary personnel deployed with rods, swords and sticks. They then broke into the Red Fort complex with tractors. There is no part left here that has not been damaged, the press release said.

“It is, therefore, a humble request to the Hon'ble Supreme Court that a Special Investigation Committee be formed on this entire matter to conduct a rigorous inquiry against the anti-social element involved in this unconstitutional activity so as to punish the accused,” the letter reads.
