When the hearing began, Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat asked Ishrat if her problem was solved.
Ishrat said, “Sir, it has been the second time that I have been attacked by the same group. There is a woman in this group who provoked them… I had handled her bedding on the day I wanted to read the Namaz, and they started hurling abuses at me, pulled my hair and tore my clothes. There is another woman, who hurled very bad abuses at me. I have also given a written complaint. This woman had given a handwritten note to me asking for 8 dupattas. There is another woman who asks me for half a kilogram of milk every day. They are all led by an inmate who was transferred from Tihar jail as punishment. Even after your intervention, on the evening at 4 pm, she, in presence of the jail staff, told me I am not my father’s child if I do not ruin your face. I called the staff and told them I was being threatened again, and they said they can not plaster her mouth with tape.”

Synopsis
The two major epics of ancient India, Mahabharata and Ramayana, came in for reference by both, the prosecution and accused, to argue their cases, while drawing comparison between the books, the mythological characters and the alleged conspiracy of the riots. The accused s counsel said the charge sheet was the second biggest document after the Mahabharata . He had argued the Mahabharata was 22,000 pages and the charge sheet was 17,000 pages. I would like to point it out that Mahabharata was a story of a conspiracy and incidentally this case is also that of a conspiracy, the prosecutor submitted.

At least 53 people were killed in the Northeast Delhi riots which took place in February 2020.
The Delhi police told a court on Thursday that just like the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata was a story of conspiracy, the north east Delhi riots was also an alleged conspiracy whose Dhritarashtra , mythological character of the epic, was yet to be identified.
The accused, who was seeking bail tried to match the police by saying this case cannot be like a Ramayana where we are going to wait 14 years to see if we can finally come out.
