"Savagery": Ex-AAP Leader Tahir Hussain Gets Life For Intel Officer's Murder
Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillor Tahir Hussain has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer Ankit Sharma during the Delhi riots in February 2020.
Announcing the sentence, Delhi's Karkardooma court said the "manner of the crime was of utmost brutality".
"The savagery did not end with the murder. His body was dragged into a drain nearby as if the hatred was still not satiated," the court said. "The crime tilts towards the rarest of rare. The monstrosity of the crime also outweighs the mitigating circumstances," it said.
