Delhi Riots Chargesheet: Safoora Zargar conspired the killing of cops, gathered people and arranged 'weapons'

The Delhi riots were the result of a deep-rooted conspiracy that was hatched at several levels where Safoora Zargar was actively involved in the murder of several citizens as well as cops including Delhi Police Head Constable Ratan Lal read one of the chargesheet.

A meeting on 23rd February night was held at Chand Bagh to finalize the action plan for the next day ie 24th. The organizers instigated the protesters to be violent and in a planned manner asked the residents to equip themselves with iron rods, Dandas, guns, Petrol Bombs etc for the next day.

Attack on a senior top police official was planed to make it BIG.

Their target was DCP Amit Sharma, an IPS officer who was brutally attacked by a well-prepared women group and was stoned by a Muslim mob. But somehow Amit Sharma survived after month long treatment in hospital.

A further perusal of the chargesheet has revealed a far deeper conspiracy between several individuals like DS Bindra, Safoora Zargar and the local Muslim protestors to unleash riots in the area.

Police Chargesheet has revealed that Safoora Zargar was one of the main organisers behind the illegal march on 23rd of February from Chand Bagh to Rajghat that was stopped, and subsequently, secret meetings were held for planning the riots on 24th of February.

"Role of Safoora in the present case is further being probed and a report regarding the same shall be filed through supplementary charge sheet," the police said in its chargesheet which pertains to the death of HC Ratan Lal as a result of rioting which took place on main Wazirabad Road Chand Bagh.

A “secret meeting” was convened by the organisers in Lane Number 4 of Chand Bagh. Post the secret meeting, the organisers went on the stage and told the protestors that “this was the time to show them our strength” and due to the visit of US President Donald Trump, all eyes would be on India and hence, the protestors were urged to show up on 24th with maximum number of people.

On 24th, the witness says that as he left his house, he saw the mobs holding rods, swords, stones and sticks, ready to attack Hindus.

Another witness says that after the secret meeting, Muslims congregated there were told by Athar and others that they were to carry rods, stones etc to show the Government and the rest of India their protest against NRC will continue.

The chargesheet further says, “The weapons used to assault police officials and set ablaze properties could not have been abruptly arranged. It was well planned in advance by the organizers of the protest site at Chand Bagh to spread violence on 24/02/2020 and the instigated rioters with common intention created havoc which led to the loss of life and property.

"Accused persons Salim Khan, Salim Munna, Suleman Siddiqui, Athar and Safoora and others were the main instigators who had started the march. The conspirators were well aware of the state visit of President of USA Donald Trump to India and intervening days were deliberately used to foster trouble with the intent not only to malign the nation's image but also to grab maximum local and international media attention," the police said.

During the investigation of the case by Special Cell, it has been found that the riots that took place in December have a connection with riots that later took place in various parts of Delhi including the riot at Chand Bagh.

The Jamia Co-ordination committee had managed all the protest sites to achieve its objective and every site was being supervised/handled by the members of JCC. During the investigation it has been found that JCC representative namely Safoora was looking after the Chand Bagh Mazar site and had played an important role in instigating the protestors.

Accordingly, Safoora was arrested by IO of Special cell in FIR no 59/20. Role of Safoora in the present case is further being probed and a report regarding the same shall be filed through supplementary charge sheet.
