SC Denies Bail to Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam in Delhi Riots Case; 5 Others Get Bail

• Supreme Court refused bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case.
• Court found a prima facie case under UAPA against Khalid and Imam, making bail inappropriate at this stage.
• Five other accused – Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, Shifa ur Rahman, Mohammed Saleem Khan, and Shadab Ahmed – were granted bail.
• SC stated trial delays don't override legal safeguards and each accused's involvement must be assessed individually.
• Khalid and Imam are accused of being main conspirators of the 2020 North-East Delhi riots, which caused over 53 deaths.

Why It Matters: SC denies bail to Khalid, Imam due to UAPA case; grants bail to 5 others in Delhi Riots.
