The eight persons booked on a murder charge for Constable Subhash Tomar's death during anti-rape protests in New Delhi were today given a clean chit by Delhi police which informed the High Court that "no evidence" was found against them.

The police, however, said it has found evidence of their involvement in destruction of public properties during the protests against the December 16 gang rape of a 23-year-old paramedical student who later died in a Singapore hospital.

Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Siddharth Luthra said that "no evidence" was found during investigations that could lead to the involvement of eight persons to constable's death, but their role was found in destruction of public properties during the protests near India Gate.
