2020 Delhi riot was not spontaneous but pre-planned, Solicitor General tells Supreme Court
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta submitted in the Supreme Court on Tuesday (November 18, 2025) that the communal violence witnessed in Delhi in February 2020 must not be viewed as a “spontaneous” aftermath of the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
Appearing before a Bench headed by Justice Aravind Kumar, Mr. Mehta said the court should not buy into the “false narrative” being weaved in the media and other outlets in the public domain.
