Umar Khalid gets bail for wedding; Muftis decry 5-year wait vs. rapists' parole.

• Umar Khalid, jailed in the Delhi riots case, has been granted interim bail by Karkardooma Court to attend his sister's wedding.
• The interim bail is approved for 13 days, from December 16 to December 29, with strict conditions.
• Conditions include no social media use, no contact with witnesses, and restricted movement to wedding-related events and his home.
• Former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti criticized the 5-year wait for Khalid's 13-day bail, contrasting it with repeated paroles for rape and murder convicts.
• Her daughter, Iltija Mufti, also questioned the justice system, noting Khalid's over five years in jail under UAPA without conviction.

Why It Matters: It highlights judicial disparity in bail for UAPA accused versus rape/murder convicts.
