SC Reserves Order on Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam Bail in Delhi Riots UAPA Case

  • The Supreme Court reserved its verdict on bail pleas of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and others.
  • The pleas are related to the UAPA case concerning the alleged conspiracy behind the February 2020 Delhi riots.
  • Delhi Police opposed bail, stating the riots were "orchestrated" and not spontaneous.
  • The accused are booked under UAPA for allegedly masterminding riots that resulted in 53 deaths and over 700 injuries.

Why It Matters: This ruling impacts the freedom of accused and future UAPA cases.
