Delhi High Court to hear Umar Khalid's bail petition in UAPA case related to 2020 Delhi riots.

The Delhi High Court will hear bail petitions for Umar Khalid, a former JNU student, and co-defendants including Sharjeel Imam, related to a UAPA case tied to the February 2020 communal riots in Delhi. Khalid and others face charges for allegedly orchestrating the riots that resulted in 53 deaths. His bail was denied in May 2022. The cases had previously been overseen by a different bench, which has since changed due to judicial transfers.
