The Delhi High Court has granted former JNU student leader Umar Khalid a three-day interim bail in connection with the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case under the UAPA. The relief was provided on humanitarian grounds to allow him to be with his mother during her surgery. Khalid had earlier sought 15 days’ interim bail, but a lower court rejected the plea. The bail will remain effective from June 1 to June 3. Khalid has been in judicial custody for several years over allegations linked to the larger conspiracy behind the northeast Delhi riots of 2020.
