A week after being pulled up by the Delhi High Court for delay in identifying the persons responsible for the death of 23-year-old Faizan, who was allegedly assaulted by policemen and made to sing the national anthem during the north-east Delhi riots in 2020, the Delhi police have informed the court that they have identified the head constable who made a video of the incident. “It has been two years, you have been able to identify just some person?” the court asked.
Faizan, who along with four other men was allegedly assaulted by policemen, later died of his injuries. The head constable, who allegedly made the video of the incident, has denied the charge. For their part, the police are awaiting the forensic report of his phone.
