A Delhi court has granted former JNU student leader Umar Khalid a seven-day interim bail from December 28 to January 3 to attend his cousin’s wedding. Khalid, arrested in 2020 under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for his alleged involvement in the Delhi riots, had sought a 10-day bail. This marks his latest attempt at bail since being in custody for over four years. His previous bail petitions were rejected, with the most recent denial by the Delhi High Court in December. Khalid continues to claim no physical evidence links him to the riots.
