2020 Delhi riots: HC refuses bail to Umar Khalid in UAPA case
New Delhi, Oct 18 : The Delhi High Court on Tuesday refused to grant bail to former JNU student Umar Khalid, who has been in custody for over two years, in a UAPA case related to the alleged conspiracy behind the riots here in February 2020.
“We do not find any merit in the bail appeal. The bail appeal is dismissed,” a bench of justices Siddharth Mridul and Rajnish Bhatnagar said while pronouncing the order.
The bench had on September 9 reserved its order on Khalid’s plea who had challenged a trial court’s March 24 order dismissing his bail application in the case. (PTI)
