While denying bail to former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain in the murder case of IB staffer Ankit Sharma during February 2020 riots, the Delhi High Court order has highlighted the “extremely grave” allegations against him.
Justice Neena Krishna Bansal said the incident was not merely an “ancillary crime, but a gruesome manifestation” of a larger conspiracy.
“Dragging of Ankit Sharma by an enraged mob, his brutal murder with 51 injuries, and the subsequent disposal of his body in a drain, defines the gravity of the offence,” the court said.

“Viewing this incident as an off-shoot of the larger conspiracy is essential to appreciate its full gravity and the prima facie role of the applicant (Hussain) within it,” the bail rejection order added.
