NEW DELHI: The attack on police personnel by women protesters during the 2020 northeast Delhi riots is the "epitome of a pre-meditated plan", which would be covered by the definition of a "terrorist act" under the UAPA, the Delhi high court held on Tuesday while dismissing former JNU student Umar Khalid's bail plea.
The court said the weapons used, the manner of the attack, the destruction caused and the resultant deaths indicate that it was pre-planned. It said acts that threaten the unity and integrity of India, cause friction in communal harmony and create terror in any section of the people by disturbing the social fabric would also be considered as terror acts.
