A Delhi court Thursday sentenced Dinesh Yadav—the second person convicted in connection with the 2020 Delhi riots—to five years of imprisonment. He is also ordered to pay a fine of Rs. 12,000, his lawyer Shikha Garg told PTI. In December, the court had convicted Yadav of being part of a riotous mob that set a house on fire.

The deadly riots in northeast Delhi in February 2020 had claimed 53 lives and left at least 400 people injured. Notably, this is the second sentencing in the cases related to the riots. However, this is the first conviction and sentencing after a full-fledged trial. In the first sentencing, there was no trial as the accused had pleaded guilty.
