The Delhi High Court today (22nd Oct) denied bail to Shahrukh Pathan, recorded aiming a firearm at a police officer during the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots. Despite spending four years in jail and the maximum sentence being ten years without reported injuries, Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma emphasized the seriousness of the charges.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court directed enhanced security for a judge following a suicide incident at Amritsar’s Golden Temple, where an assailant used the judge’s security officer’s gun. The Punjab Police must submit a sealed status report on the investigation, with further hearings scheduled for September 27.
