Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM has fielded riot-accused and former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain as their candidate from Mustafabad for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.

Delhi Police submitted in court that Delhi riots were a result of a deep-rooted conspiracy hatched after the Citizenship Amendment Bill was introduced in Parliament on December 4, 2019.

The court noted that Hussain's plea did not clarify how the statements would benefit his defence, stating that it was neither necessary nor desirable to call for the witness statements as requested.

A Delhi Court has dismissed the regular bail application of Tahir Hussain, accused in the larger conspiracy of the Delhi riots under the UAPA

The court noted that there was a direction to provide an advance copy to the counsel for the accused. However, neither an advance copy has been supplied nor even a reply has been filed in the Court. "In these circumstances, let the Special Director (Directorate of Enforcement) appear in person on the next date on December 8 at 2.00 PM," ASJ Rawat ordered on December 5, 2023.

Despite being granted the bail Tahir Hussain will continue to be in judicial custody in other FIRs registered against him

The court order noted Tahir Hussain was pointing towards some shops on the opposite side of his house, which included the bakery of Md. Zahid. After which the rioters vandalised, looted, and set fire to the shops.

When AAP first entered politics in 2012, they positioned themselves as champions of peace and brotherhood and crusaders against corruption, but over time, the party leaders have done exactly the reverse

Although Tahir Hussain has been granted bail in 5 cases, he will still remain in judicial custody over other cases lodged against him.
