Delhi Police played a video compilation in the Supreme Court opposing activist Sharjeel Imam’s bail plea in the 2020 northeast Delhi riots case. The footage includes inflammatory speeches made by Imam in January 2020, where he allegedly called for cutting off Assam “by any means” and disrupting supply lines. Authorities argue the riots were part of a planned conspiracy, not spontaneous protests after the Citizenship Amendment Act. Imam faces sedition, UAPA, and communal incitement charges.
