2020 Delhi riots | Supreme Court dismisses Delhi Police appeal against bail to activists

The Supreme Court on May 2 dismissed an appeal by the Delhi Police against the release of activists Devangana Kalita, Natasha Narwal and Asif Iqbal Tanha on bail in a case connected to the 2020 Delhi riots. 

A Bench led by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul observed that the activists have been out on bail for two years now. The Delhi High Court had allowed them bail in June 2021 after a year’s incarceration in Tihar Jail. They were accused of offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act or UAPA in connection with the North-East Delhi riots, which broke out after the protests against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) had turned violent.
