According to prosecutor Gopal Gupta, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the riot cases has filed charge sheet against three accused Monu Balmiki, Raju and Ankit under section 436 (mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to destroy house) and 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees) of the IPC.
