Additional Sessions Judge Ajay Pandey held Naresh Sherawat and Yashpal Singh guilty of killing Hardev Singh and Avtar Singh in Mahipalpur area of south Delhi during the riots. The case was lodged on a complaint by Santokh Singh, brother of Hardev Singh.

The Delhi Police had closed the case in 1994 for want of evidence. However, a special investigation team (SIT) on the riots reopened the case.

The court held the accused guilty of murder,  attempt to murder, dacoity and voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means.

Both convicts were taken into custody.
