New Delhi
Court allows withdrawal of case against Shoaib
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: A court here on Wednesday allowed the Delhi Government to withdraw an 11-year-old case involving the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Shoaib Iqbal, in which an Assistant Commissioner of Delhi Police was killed while trying to control a protesting mob. The court also allowed the charges to be dropped against 10 other accused in the case.
Additional Sessions Judge S. K. Sarvaria said it was expedient in public interest to withdraw prosecution against all the accused and, hence, they were acquitted of the charges framed against them.
The order came following the Additional Public Prosecutor’s plea that the accused were protesting in public interest and no criminal motive could be imputed against them in the offence they had been charged with.
It was during a protest led by Mr. Iqbal at Parliament Street here that ACP Ashok Hari, who was trying to control the protesters, had died after he came under the wheels of a fire engine in 1997.
