AAP councillor Tahir Hussain has been booked under murder charges over the brutal killing of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma in Delhi’s Chand Bagh area.
As per reports, a case has been filed against Hussain under sections 365 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which pertain to kidnapping and murder, following a complaint by Ankit’s father.
Ankit’s family had accused Hussain of being behind the attack.
“Tahir Hussain the AAP councilor is behind the murder of my brother. Anti CAA protestors took my brother and three others to the building which belongs to Tahir Hussain”, Ankit’s brother was quoted as saying.
The family also alleged that the rioters were shooting from the AAP councillor's home and were also equipped with swords and petrol bombs. It added that Ankit was killed by the mob while he was trying to help civilians being trapped by the rioters.
AAP has now announced that it has suspended Hussain from the party.
