Letter to Kejriwal Demands Independent Enquiry into Delhi Riots

Dear Shri Kejriwal

We, citizens living in various parts of India have been following with grave disquiet and concern, reports of the ongoing investigation into the Delhi violence by the Delhi police and the Special Crime cell. The investigation appears to be an “unfair, one sided and manufactured” investigation. We know that citizens of the National Capital have written to you asking for an independent probe into the violence. We write to you endorsing the demand. We request you to order an independent investigation under a retired judge of suitable stature with a time bound mandate. The terms of reference should include various aspects of the violence. We are committed to ensure punishment to those guilty of the violence and we believe an independent inquiry will help such a process. Since this letter is digitally endorsed please consider it signed by all of us whose names are given below.
