Delhi riots case: HC denies bail to Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam
September 03, 2025
|Hindustan Times Delhi
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday denied bail to student activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the larger conspiracy case linked to the February 2020 Delhi riots, holding that their roles appeared “prima facie grave” and that they were the first to act after Parliament passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) in 2019.
A bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Shalinder Kaur, in a 133-page verdict, also rejected bail pleas of seven others — student activist Gulfisha Fatima, United Against Hate founder Khalid Saifi, Athar Khan, Mohd Saleem, Shifa-ur-Rehman, Meeran Haider, and Shadab Ahmed ~taking note of the roles assigned to them in furtherance of the alleged conspiracy, which, according to investigators, culminated in communal clashes in Delhi that left 53 people dead and hundreds injured.
Imam was arrested on January 28, 2020, and Khalid on September 14, 2020. Both were booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The Delhi Police have alleged that they were the “intellectual architects” of the conspiracy, which escalated into violence in northeast Delhi from February 23, 2020, during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
