District and Sessions Judge Sudhir Kumar Jain deferred the matter noting that the copy of the notice regarding his plea was not served to the SIT, formed to probe the cases related to the violence over the new citizenship law.
Mr. Hussain has been booked in the murder case of the IB staffer in northeast Delhi amid violence over the new citizenship law last week.
Delhi’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had then suspended him for his alleged involvement in the violence which has left at least 42 people dead and around 200 injured.
