Delhi Police Says Delhi Riots Conspired By Forces 'Inimical To India', Opposes Bail Of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam & Others In UAPA Case
Live LawThe Delhi Police on Tuesday told the Delhi High Court that the 2020 North-East Delhi riots were well planned and the alleged conspiracy to execute the same was “clinical and pathological.” The submission was made by ASG Chetan Sharma before a division bench comprising Justice Navin Chawla and Justice Shalinder Kaur. ASG Sharma opposed the bail pleas filed by Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and other accused persons in connection with the UAPA case alleging a larger conspiracy related to the riots. Regarding Umar Khalid, Sharma said that there is no factual change in his case to warrant judicial interference at this stage and to grant him relief in his second regular bail plea. Khalid's appeal challenging the rejection of his second regular bail plea is pending before the Delhi High Court.
