The Special Cell of Delhi Police searched the Nizamuddin East office of lawyer Mahmood Pracha Thursday. Pracha’s firm Legal Axis is defending several persons accused in different cases related to the Delhi riots in February this year – these cases include those in which sections of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) have been invoked. In August, police told a Delhi court that Pracha had forged documents and instigated a man to depose falsely in a case related to the riots. I have told them they can take things from my computers, from my office and even my home. It is not so weak… We will ensure that each and every riot victim gets justice.”Lawyers working with Pracha filed an application with CMM Pankaj Sharma against the seizure of material.
