‘Accused is also trying to show the prosecution in bad light’
The Delhi police on Monday submitted before a local court here that Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Devangana Kalita, accused in a Delhi riots case, was creating a narrative in the media to show BJP leader Kapil Mishra was behind the communal violence.
It added that if the investigation, the prosecution and the country was to continue on the foundation of what is being reported in the media, then that would be the “end of rule of law”.
The police also argued that there was allegedly another narrative of “inscrutable indolence” created by the accused to show the prosecution in bad light. The submissions were made before Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat during the hearing of Ms. Kalita’s bail application in the case of larger conspiracy to the riots.
