The Delhi High Court has directed the city police to provide an update on the status of criminal cases related to the February 2020 riots in the national capital. With over 750 FIRs filed and investigations still pending in 273 cases, the court ordered the police to submit a fresh status report within 10 days. The bench, responding to a PIL by Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind, discussed the need for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) for independent inquiries into the riots. The court emphasized the urgency, questioning delays in resolving cases dating back to 2020. The matter is set for further hearing on April 29, alongside PILs seeking independent investigations and FIRs against political figures for alleged hate speeches.
