Delhi Court to Decide Sentence for Ankit Sharma Murder Convicts

A court in Delhi is going to decide the punishment for five people, including a former politician, who were found guilty of killing a government officer named Ankit Sharma during some violent riots in 2020.

The riots happened in northeast Delhi and caused a lot of damage and deaths.

The court has already said they are guilty of serious crimes like murder and rioting.

Now, they will decide if these people should go to jail for life or get the death penalty.

The government says the officer was killed by a big group of people who attacked him.

The former politician was part of a political party, but they kicked him out after his name came up in the case.
