School principal assault case: Delhi court dismisses AAP MLA’s appeal against conviction

A Delhi court on Monday dismissed the appeal filed by AAP MLA Abdul Rahman and his wife against their conviction in a case of assaulting a government school principal in 2009.

A magisterial court had held the politician and his wife guilty in April this year. It had, however, released them on probation on the condition of maintaining peace and good behaviour, and refraining from any criminal activity.

Special judge Geetanjali Goel also dismissed an appeal by the victim, who had approached the court seeking enhancement of the punishment.
