{“title”:”Justice Demands Accountability: Delhi Court Seeks Death Penalty for Tahir Hussain in Brutal Murder of Ankit Sharma”,”content”:”
Delhi witnessed one of the darkest chapters in its history in 2020 when the city was marred by violent riots that left dozens dead and hundreds injured. Among the many victims was Ankit Sharma, a brave 26-year-old Intelligence Bureau officer, who was brutally murdered by a mob in the midst of the chaos. Five years on, the Delhi Police has finally pressed for the death penalty for Tahir Hussain, the former AAP councillor, and four others convicted in the gruesome murder of Ankit Sharma, arguing that the killing was so heinous it fell within the ‘rarest of the rare’ category.
The Brutal Murder that Shook the Nation
On February 24, 2020, Ankit Sharma, a young IB officer, was on duty when he was brutally thrashed to death by a mob at Khajuri Khas in northeast Delhi. The officer’s body was found with 51 injuries, including a severe head injury, a fractured skull, and multiple internal injuries. The brutality of the crime sent shockwaves across the nation, with many calling for justice for the slain officer and his family.
As per the prosecution, Tahir Hussain, a former AAP councillor, had conspired with four others, including a local resident, a street vendor, and two others, to brutally murder Ankit Sharma. The police argued that the motive behind the murder was to create fear and spread panic among the residents, allowing the perpetrators to carry out their nefarious activities with impunity.
The Trial and Conviction
The trial of the five accused, including Tahir Hussain, began in 2021, with the prosecution presenting a plethora of evidence, including CCTV footage, eyewitness accounts, and forensic reports. The defence team argued that the accused were innocent and that the prosecution had failed to establish a clear motive for the murder. However, the court, after hearing both sides, convicted the five accused of murder and sentenced them to death.
The prosecution argued that the killing of Ankit Sharma was an act of terrorism, aimed at creating fear and spreading panic among the residents. They pointed out that the accused had used violence to achieve their objectives, leaving the victim with 51 injuries, and had no remorse for their actions.

Justice for Ankit Sharma’s Family
Ankit Sharma’s family has been waiting for justice for five years now, and the Delhi Police’s move to press for the death penalty is a welcome step towards closure.

However, they still demand justice for their beloved son, who was brutally murdered in cold blood.
The Delhi Police’s move to press for the death penalty is a testament to their commitment to bringing justice to the victims and their families. The conviction of the accused is a reminder that the law will not tolerate such heinous crimes and that those responsible will be held accountable for their actions.
As the court considers the death penalty for Tahir Hussain and the four others, the nation waits with bated breath for justice to be served. The Delhi Police’s move is a step towards ensuring that justice is served and that the memory of Ankit Sharma is not forgotten.
