The Delhi High Court on Friday granted three-day interim bail to former JNU student activist Umar Khalid in a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) linked to the alleged “larger conspiracy” behind the 2020 northeast Delhi riots.
A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Madhu Jain granted Khalid interim relief after taking note of submissions regarding his mother’s medical condition and her upcoming surgery. The court said it was inclined to take an “empathetic view” in the matter.
