Delhi riots: Yechury, Yogendra Yadav, Jayati Ghosh named co-conspirators

Delhi Police on Saturday named CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechury, Swaraj Abhiyan's Yogendra Yadav, economist Jayati Ghosh, DU professor Apoorvanand, and documentary filmmaker Rahul Roy as co-conspirators in the February Delhi riots case in its supplementary chargesheet. They have been accused of asking anti-CAA protesters to go to ¨any extreme¨, spreading discontent in the community by calling CAA/NRC anti-Muslim, and organising demonstrations to “malign the image of the Government of India”. These eminent personalities have been made accused based on the confessions of three students - women’s collective Pinjra Tod members and JNU students Devangana Kalita and Natasha Narwal, and Gulfisha Fathima of Jamia Milia Islamia - in the Jafrabad violence, from where the riots spread to other parts of north-east Delhi. All three are facing charges under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
