SC Denies Bail to Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam; BJP Slams 'Tukde Tukde Gang'

• Supreme Court denied bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots case, citing prima facie UAPA material and their central role in conspiracy.
• BJP leaders Shehzaad Poonawala and Amit Malviya welcomed the decision, criticizing 'tukde gang', 'urban Naxals', and those seeking foreign intervention.
• Poonawala alleged Delhi riots were organized, not spontaneous, and criticized Congress leader Udit Raj for defending Imam.
• Congress leader Udit Raj called the bail denial 'unfortunate', questioning prolonged detention without trial and accusing the government of targeting Muslims.
• AAP leader Sanjay Singh respected the verdict but raised concerns about long-term detention without trial in a democracy.
