Court Recognizes 'Lady Don' Case: Justice Awaits

A Delhi court has acknowledged the chargesheet presented by local police against Zikra, also referred to as the 'lady don,' alongside seven others implicated in the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old boy in north-east Delhi's Seelampur area last April.

During an order issued on July 26, Judicial Magistrate Anmol Nohria expressed, "From the perusal of material available on record, I take cognisance of the offence." The chargesheet cites crimes including murder, criminal conspiracy, criminal intimidation, common intention, harboring or concealing an offender, and causing the disappearance of evidence.

Named in the chargesheet are Zikra, who served as a bouncer for the spouse of jailed gangster Hashim Baba, alongside others identified as Anas, Sahil Ansari, Zahida, Nafees, Vikas, Shahid alias Shuaib, and Aneesh. The court has summoned the accused for an appearance scheduled on August 8.
