Khalid Denied Bail Yet Again in Delhi Riots Case
In a major update from the Delhi High Court, Khalid has been denied bail yet again in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. This marks his sixth unsuccessful bail attempt, reinforcing the court’s stand on the seriousness of charges filed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
Khalid, a former student leader, has been in custody since 2020. His legal team argued that the charges were politically motivated and lacked sufficient evidence. However, the court observed that the allegations form part of a larger conspiracy linked to the riots and hence, bail cannot be granted at this stage.
Why the Bail Was Denied
Seriousness of Charges: The court cited the gravity of charges under UAPA, which restricts bail unless clear evidence of innocence is shown.
Pattern of Conspiracy: The prosecution argued Khalid’s role fits into the broader conspiracy leading to the riots.
Previous Attempts: This denial marks the sixth time Khalid’s bail has been rejected.
Legal and Political Implications
The repeated denial of bail keeps the focus on India’s handling of UAPA cases. Critics argue that prolonged custody without conviction raises human rights concerns, while supporters say strong laws are needed for national security.
