Umar Khalid Gets 7 Days Interim Bail in Delhi Riots Larger Conspiracy Case

A Delhi Court on Wednesday 18th December granted interim bail to former JNU scholar Umar Khalid in the UAPA case alleging a larger conspiracy related to the 2020 North-East Delhi riots. Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai of Karkardooma Courts granted interim bail for 7 days to Khalid for attending a wedding in the family.

The interim bail conditions are that Khalid shall not contact any witness and any person in connection with the case. The Court has also directed Khalid to not use social media during the interim bail period. Other conditions are: He shall only meet his family members, relatives and friends. He shall remain at his home or at the places where the ceremonies of marriage will take place.

Umar Khalid has to surrender himself in the evening of January 3, 2025 before the concerned Jail Superintendent. Umar Khalid was denied bail in October 2022 by the Delhi High Court. He then approached the Supreme Court but later withdrew his SLP. A second regular bail plea was filed by him in the trial court which was rejected earlier this year.
