Accused Secretly Planned Chakka Jam, Carefully Chose Sites for Delhi Riots, Says Special Cell in Charge Sheet

In its charge sheet pertaining to the investigation and conspiracy behind Delhi Riots in February this year, the Delhi Police Special Cell has claimed that a ‘chakka jam’ was started on the roads during the period, not just to paralyse regular traffic movement but also to “engineer riots”. The rioters chose sites “located on arterial/busy roads in proximity to mixed population areas to paralyse the normal life.” The strategy of chakka Jam, as mentioned in the chargesheet, was to block the traffic, followed by “confrontation and attack on policemen and public persons, damage, and destruction of Public Property by use of arson and other means in these so engineered riots,” the Special Cell said in its charge sheet. Athar Khan, the key convener of the meeting at Chand Bagh, had received an important telephonic call from Rahul Roy on February 23 at 12:18 pm— at the same time when the final movements of 300 odd female protestors from Jahangir Puri who were to later precipitate the violence at Jafrabad were being coordinated between Tabrez, Jahanvi Mittal and Rahul Roy. After getting complete details about the manpower and capabilities of the Jahangirpuri protestors, Rahul Roy called back Janhavi Mittal and “they spoke for about 20 minutes to set the stage for what was to happen on the February 23, 2020,” the investigators mentioned in the charge sheet.
