‘Can’t hear endlessly’: Delhi HC raps police over Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam bail pleas in 2020 riots case

Live Mint  

Hearing the submissions in the bail hearing of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and others in the 20202 riots case, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday, January 21, rapped the police and said it cannot “endlessly” hear them. He stated that the current set of cases involved not just simple bail pleas but appeals challenging trial court orders denying bail, which necessitated a thorough hearing. Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and others were booked under the Unlawful Activities Act and provisions of the IPC for allegedly being the "masterminds" of the violence, which left 53 dead and several injured. While challenging the trial court orders refusing bail, Umar Khalid and others have cited their long incarceration and parity with other co-accused who were granted bail.
