2020 Delhi riots: SC issues notice to Delhi Police on Umar Khalid's bail plea in UAPA case

India Today  

The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a notice to the Delhi Police on the bail plea filed by student activist Umar Khalid in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. The Delhi High Court, while denying bail to Khalid on October 18 last year, observed that the protests against the proposed Citizenship Amendment Act and the 2020 North-East Delhi riots were prima facie orchestrated at various conspiratorial meetings attended by Khalid. Opposing the bail plea in the high court, the Delhi Police had claimed the speech delivered by Khalid was “very calculated” and brought up issues like Babri Masjid, triple talaq, Kashmir, the alleged suppression of Muslims and the Citizenship Act and National Register of Citizens. Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and several others were booked by the Delhi Police under UAPA and provisions of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly being the "masterminds" of the February 2020 riots, which left 53 people dead and over 700 injured.
