‘Ankit Sharma died with 51 injuries’: Death penalty sought for Tahir Hussain in 2020 Delhi riots case

Special public prosecutor Madhukar Pandey told the court that Sharma was subjected to a planned and relentless assault before his body was dumped in a drain instead of being taken for medical treatment. Speaking to reporters after the hearing, Pandey said the prosecution’s demand for capital punishment was based on the nature of the crime and the manner in which it was carried out.
