New Delhi (ILNS):<\/strong> A Delhi court today denied bail to AAP leader Tahir Hussain, accused in the north east Delhi riots case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additional Sessions Judge Vinod Yadav was hearing the bail applications by Hussain who is accused of\u00a0 alleged involvement in the communal riots in north east Delhi which took place this year in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hussain argued that he belongs to Aam Aadmi Party and is a \u201cvictim of circumstances\u201d, as he has been caught up in a political cross-fire and the allegations levelled against him are nothing but a political blame game to malign his image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He further submitted that there is no evidence by way of even a single video footage or CCTV footage to prove that he had participated in the riots or caused damage to any property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Court, however, rejected his contention, saying that from the evidence of a number of witnesses recorded in the matter, it is prima facie apparent that the \u201criotous mob\u201d armed with \u201clethal weapons\u201d had engaged in vandalism, looting and torching of public and private properties and their main objective was to cause maximum damage to the lives and properties of persons belonging to other community. Therefore, at this stage it cannot be said with certainty that the applicant did not have a common object with the other persons of unlawful assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
