NEW DELHI: The Delhi Assembly’s Minorities Committee on Wednesday said it will seek clarification from the Delhi Police on why it is refusing to provide the copies of FIRs registered in cases related to the northeast Delhi riots.
At a meeting, AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan, who is the committee’s chairman, has instructed the Delhi government’s home secretary to seek clarifications from the police on the issue, the panel said in a statement.
“The most important matter at the meeting was the issue of not providing the copies of FIRs by the Delhi Police to the committee. Amanatullah Khan instructed the home secretary that he would ask the police in this regard,” the statement said.
While questioning the role of the Delhi Police, the committee also said five FIRs in the riots have been registered by creating similar stories targeting one community. Khan also ordered that 160 cases be reconsidered for providing compensation to the victims of the riots.
“Our effort is to take action against the rioters and those who are suffering should get justice. The Delhi Police should also do justice to the riot victims by doing a free and fair investigation, and not act with discrimination,” said Khan.
