In July 2021, former JNU student Umar Khalid filed a bail plea at a Delhi court after spending 10 months in jail. Khalid had been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for his alleged involvement in a “conspiracy” related to the 2020 Delhi riots.
After eight months, dozens of hearings, delays in court dates, and three order deferments, Khalid’s bail order was pronounced by additional sessions judge Amitabh Rawat in the Karkardooma court on Thursday.
