Family of Delhi murder convicts and ex-AAP councillor plan High Court appeal
Relatives of two men sentenced to life for the Ankit Sharma killing, together with former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain, said they will contest the verdict in the Delhi High Court.
A trial court sentenced two defendants to life imprisonment for the murder of Ankit Sharma. On Friday, the relatives of those convicts, alongside former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain, declared their intention to appeal the decision to the Delhi High Court. They argue that the evidence does not support the convictions and reject any alleged link between the convicts and Hussain.
The planned petition will request a review of the trial court's judgment and aim to reverse the life sentences. No further details about the legal strategy were provided. The case remains under judicial scrutiny as the appeal process begins.
Why it matters
The appeal could alter a high-profile murder conviction and affect public confidence in Delhi's judicial process.
