The Delhi High Court on Monday, September 22, 2025, partly allowed Delhi riots accused Devangana Kalita’s plea, directing the Delhi Police to preserve case diaries linked to the Jafrabad violence during the riots, while rejecting her request for their reconstruction.
Kalita, a Pinjra Tod activist and an accused in the 2020 Delhi riots “larger conspiracy” case, had approached the court seeking both reconstruction and preservation of the diaries.
On July 7, 2025, the Delhi High Court reserved its order on a petition filed by Devangana Kalita, an accused in the 2020 Delhi riots “larger conspiracy” case, in which she had sought preservation and reconstruction of the case diary pertaining to the investigation.
In November last year, the High Court had issued notice on her plea, directing the Delhi Police to file a status report.
In June 2021, the Delhi High Court had granted her bail along with co-accused Asif Iqbal Tanha and Natasha Narwal.
