NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police has opposed before the Delhi High Court a plea of former JNU student Umar Khalid seeking bail in a case under the stringent UAPA for alleged conspiracy behind the 2020 riots in Delhi, saying the narratives sought to be created by him cannot be looked into as his defence at the this stage.
In its reply filed to the plea which challenges the rejection of Khalid's bail application by the trial court, the police stated that the trial court has "rightly dismissed" Khalid's plea for release by a "well-reasoned order" which suffers from no illegality.
