"Should Have Got Death Penalty": Intel Officer's Brother On Tahir Hussain

The brother of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma has said former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillor Tahir Hussain should have been given the death penalty after a Delhi court sentenced him to life imprisonment for Sharma's murder during the 2020 Delhi riots.Speaking over the phone, Ankit Sharma's brother, Ankur Sharma, said the family would continue its legal battle if the case reaches the Delhi High Court or the Supreme Court."Our demand was that the court should treat this case as a 'rarest of rare' case, and that the guilty should receive the harshest possible punishment. They should have been given the death penalty; that is what we wanted," he told NDTV."As the case moves to the Delhi High Court or the Supreme Court, we want my brother to get justice there as well, and the guilty should receive the severest punishment.
