New Delhi: The Delhi police has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking review of the acquittal of Delhi University lecturer S A R Geelani in the Parliament attack case.

Police has also sought enhancement of the 10-year sentence awarded to Shaukat Hussain Guru as well as the review of acquittal of his wife Navjot Sandhu alias Afsan Guru in the case.

In the petition, forty grounds have been listed by the police for review of the verdict.

The Supreme Court had last month upheld the death penalty awarded by a trial court to Jaish-e-Mohd militant Mohd Afzal but reduced it in the case of his cousin Shaukat Hussain Guru to 10 years imprisonment besides acquitting his wife Afsan Guru and Geelani.
