Court orders framing of charges against Uphaar Cinema tragedy convict Sushil Ansal in passport case
Uphaar Cinema: A Delhi court has ordered framing of charges against the Uphaar fire tragedy convict Sushil Ansal in a separate case for allegedly concealing criminal cases and submitting false declarations to renew a passport. Ansal was booked by the crime branch of Delhi Police in 2019, and he was accused of furnishing false information, as he failed to declare his conviction in the 1997 Uphaar cinema fire tragedy.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Shriya Agrawal of Patiala House Courts, in a November 28 order, held that “prima facie, there is sufficient material” to proceed against Ansal for offences under Sections 420 (cheating), 177 (furnishing false information to a public servant), 181 (making false statement on oath) IPC and Section 12 (offenses related to passports) of the Passports Act, relisting the matter for formal framing of charges on January 13, 2026.
