On Thursday, the Supreme Court rejected Mohammad Arif alias Ashfaq’s request for a review of the death penalty sentence it had imposed on him in the 2000 Red Fort attack case, which claimed the lives of three persons, including two Army jawans.
“We have agreed to take into account electronic records, as requested. His culpability is established. The bench declared, “We uphold the court’s judgement and deny the petition for review. Arif was one of the accused who, on December 22, 2000, entered the Red Fort and opened fire indiscriminately, killing three people.
A bench made up of Chief Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and Justice Bela M Trivedi announced that it had agreed to consider the requests for electronic records.
