Delhi High Court Quashes Murder Conspiracy Charges
The Delhi High Court has canceled charges against a man accused of planning to murder someone in 2004.
The court said the police did not follow the rules properly when they kept important evidence, like a cassette, without sealing it right away.
The judge praised the police for trying to keep people safe but said they can't ignore the law.
The court decided that the evidence wasn't reliable because it wasn't handled correctly, so the charges were dropped.
Delhi High Court quashed murder conspiracy charges against a man linked to the Dawood Ibrahim gang.
The court found that the integrity of electronic evidence was compromised.
Justice Neena Bansal Krishna criticized the police for not sealing the cassette immediately.
The court acknowledged police efforts but emphasized adherence to the criminal justice system.
The charges were based on an alleged conspiracy to murder Babloo Shrivastava in 2004.
