Advocate Deepak Bhatia, representing the Delhi Police, refused to present arguments in the case registered against accused Tanveer Malik, Tahir Hussain and other accused. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police said that a supplementary charge sheet can be filed in this case.
To this, the court asked Bhatia to make arguments on the basis of the main charge sheet, but the latter insisted on deferring the hearing. However, Advocate Rizwan opposed the demand to postpone the hearing of the Delhi Police, saying that the accused have been in jail for the last one and a half years.
