A Delhi court has convicted ex-AAP councillor Tahir Hussain and four others for the killing of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma during the 2020 Delhi riots.Sharma was attacked by a mob and thrown into a drain during communal violence in northeast Delhi.

His family, who relocated from Delhi after the incident, expressed mixed emotions - relief at the conviction but profound grief over losing a key family member.The court's verdict has reignited painful memories for the Sharma family, who now live in Uttar Pradesh.They demand strict punishment for all involved, including hanging for the accused.

The case stems from an FIR filed by Sharma's father, alleging Hussain and others led the mob that killed Sharma while he was on duty assessing the situation.The conviction comes six years after the incident, which occurred during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.Hussain, who was suspended from AAP after the case surfaced, broke down in court upon receiving his sentence.
