Delhi court convicts man for 2020 brick assault murder in Bakkarwala

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court recently convicted a man for murdering another man in the year 2020 in the Bakkarwala area of Delhi by causing injuries through repeatedly hitting his head and other body parts with a brick.
The court of Additional Sessions Judge Vijay Shankar stated that the prosecution successfully proved every aspect of circumstantial evidence, the last seen theory, and the extra-judicial confession of the accused through the testimonies of public witnesses, as well as medical, forensic, and police witnesses, alongside medical, forensic, and other documents and case properties.
"In the present case, there is an unbroken chain of circumstantial evidence, and each and every chain of events of circumstantial evidence has been proved on record. The chain of events is complete in all respects so as to indicate the guilt of the accused. There is no gap left in the chain of events of circumstantial evidence. All the circumstantial evidence suggests that it is only the accused who committed the murder of Amit (deceased)," said the court.
The court was hearing a case against one Sanjay Singh, who was accused of killing Amit on February 29, 2020, by hitting his head and other body parts with bricks.
The court, taking note of the nature of injuries sustained by the deceased, the mode and manner of assault, the weapon of offence, intention, and knowledge as relevant factors, said these have been duly proved on record by the prosecution.
The court also mentioned that the concerned prosecution witnesses, in their testimonies, had specifically deposed regarding the mode and manner in which the accused caused the injuries to the deceased.
"The accused caused the injuries to the deceased with the weapon of offence, i.e., a brick. This fact has also been duly proved on record by the prosecution witnesses, including the medical and forensic witnesses. The prosecution has duly proved on record the MLC, post-mortem report, and FSL reports," said the court.
The court rejected the plea of alibi taken by the accused, who claimed he was not present at the spot where the murder took place, stating that the onus to prove the plea of alibi was upon the accused.
The accused had not led any defence evidence in support of his contention, the court said.
