He was, however, acquitted on charges of hatching a criminal conspiracy and abetment of mutiny.<\/p>\n<p>The court also convicted Javed, Anas, Nazim, and Kasim for the crime, while acquitting six other accused persons who had been facing trial in the case.<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi police had sought the death penalty for the former Councillor, submitting that the \u201ccold-blooded\u201d killing, marked by 51 injuries on the victim\u2019s body, qualified as a \u201crarest of rare\u201d case warranting capital punishment.<\/p>\n<p>The case stems from an FIR registered at the Dayalpur police station on a complaint filed by the deceased\u2019s father, Ravinder Kumar. In his complaint, Mr. Kumar said that his son had returned home from work on February 25, 2020 but stepped out again on some work. When he failed to return, the family launched a search, and was later informed that he had been killed. His body was subsequently recovered from a drain near a mosque in the Chand Bagh Pulia area. The post-mortem examination recorded 51 ante-mortem injuries caused by sharp-edged weapons and blunt force trauma. Mr. Kumar accused Hussain and others for the crime. On March 24, 2023 the trial court framed charges against the accused.<\/p>\n<p>This story is a developing story.
