Needs To End Now…”: Court To Cops In Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam Bail Pleas

New Delhi:

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday said it cannot “endlessly” hear the submissions in the bail hearing of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and others in a February 2020 riots’ case under UAPA.

A bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Shalinder Kaur observed the accused persons claimed there was “nothing” against them, and therefore, asked the police to show the specific roles attributed to each of them in the alleged conspiracy behind the violence.

“This has to end. This can’t go on like this.. This needs to end now. We can’t give you endless time,” the bench told the police counsel.

Special public prosecutor Amit Prasad sought time to file a note to specify the role of each accused.
