The Delhi High Court has denied bail to 10 individuals, including Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, accused in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. Khalid has been in jail since 2020 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. His partner, Banojyotsna Lahiri, stated that they will now seek help from the Supreme Court. The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union plans a solidarity march on September 13, marking five years since Khalid's arrest. The court upheld the trial court's order, asserting that the riots were part of a well-planned conspiracy.
