Sharjeel Imam Denies Link to Umar Khalid in Delhi Riots Case: A Game Changer?

• Sharjeel Imam explicitly denied any ideological or organizational connection with Umar Khalid in the Delhi Riots conspiracy case.
• His statement in Karkardooma Court challenges the prosecution's 'conspiracy theory' linking the two accused.
• Defense argues police cannot declare them criminals based solely on shared ideology or JNU association.
• Legal experts view this as a strategic move to break conspiracy links, establish individual defense, and aid bail prospects.
• Delhi Police maintains both were in constant contact via 'Delhi Protest Support Group' for a planned conspiracy.

Why It Matters: Sharjeel Imam's disassociation from Umar Khalid could significantly alter the Delhi Riots conspiracy trial.
