New Delhi: Special Public Prosecutor Amit Prasad, who was representing the Delhi Police in cases around February 2020 communal violence in North-East Delhi, has submitted his resignation letter to Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena.“I was appointed as Special Public Prosecutor for Delhi Riots 2020 Cases which I was continuing till date for 3 years. In this period I have handled the prosecution cases to the best of my ability,” Prasad said in his letter, according to LiveLaw. “However, now I would not be able to continue and hence tendering my resignation with immediate effect. It is requested that my resignation may please be accepted forthwith. I would like to thank you for the opportunity given to me.”According to Bar and Bench, Prasad will continue to act as the SPP in the Shraddha Walkar murder case. Prasad told the portal that “there was a lot of conflict between [his] private practice and the Delhi riots cases” and that the “Shraddha Walkar case was taking a lot of [his] time and energy”.As The Wire‘s Taniya Roy has reported, there have been multiple cases around the 2020 communal violence in which the judges have come down heavily on the Delhi Police for ‘biased’, ‘improper’ investigation.At least 758 FIRs have been filed under the Indian Penal Code, in connection with the 2020 February violence that killed 53 people and injured over 700. The violence lasted around four days, from February 23 to 27, 2020.It’s interesting to note how the courts, in several cases, while acquitting accused persons, have rapped the Delhi Police over ‘fabrication of evidence’, ‘shoddy probe’ and ‘a lack of logic’.The way the police have conducted the investigation into some cases is bizarre, as per the court’s analysis of the probe. Additionally, in many cases, the victims, who were later acquitted of all charges, were kept behind bars – some for several months, some for over a year.
