Delhi's Karkardooma court denied bail to former JNU student leader Umar Khalid in a UAPA case linked to the 2020 Delhi riots. Khalid, imprisoned since September 2020, sought bail citing delays and parity with other accused. Special judge Sameer Bajpai reserved the order on May 13. The Delhi police opposed the plea, labeling it "frivolous and baseless." Khalid's counsel argued no terror charges were substantiated and claimed a biased media trial.
