Dealing with a case concerning murder of 21 year old Aaftaf during the North East Delhi riots, a Delhi Court observed that it was difficult for the investigating agency to trace public witnesses promptly for recording of statements as people were shocked and traumatized to the extent that it took them days to muster the courage in reporting the case to the Delhi police. "Though, there is some delay in recording the statements of public witnesses in the matter, but at this stage, this Court cannot loose sight of the fact that on account of prevailing communal tension in the area, it was very difficult for the investigating agency to trace the eye/public witnesses promptly, because the people were so shocked and traumatized that it took several days for them to muster courage to come out and report the matter to the police," the Court observed. Considering the facts of the case and statements available on record, the Court opined that the public witnesses not only gave 'blow-by-blow account of the incident' but they also categorically named and identified the accused persons to be members of the riotous mob on the date and time of incident.
