New Delhi, Dec 3 (IBNS): A Delhi High Court on Monday provided relief to Delhi Chief Minister and six others in connection with a case that accused him of allegedly creating riot in front of the house of the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2012.

The order was passed by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal.

On Aug 26 in 2012, Kejriwal and others demonstrated outside Manmohan Singh's house in Delhi against the coal scam.

The police used water canons to deter them. But the volunteers became violent and the cops then had to fire several rounds of tear gas to disperse them.

Some activists had attacked the police and damaged the barricade.

Kejriwal and six others were then booked under Sections 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting armed with deadly weapon) and 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object) of the Indian Penal Code.
