The Delhi High Court reserved its decision on bail pleas of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and others accused in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta opposed bail, citing planned violence during Trump's visit.
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday reserved its decision on the bail applications of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and other individuals accused in the alleged larger conspiracy behind the 2020 Delhi riots. The matter remains pending for one of the co-accused, Shadab Ahmed, whose bail plea will be heard further on Thursday. According to news agency IANS, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta strongly opposed the bail pleas, asserting that those involved in conspiracies against the nation should not be granted bail merely due to prolonged detention.

During the proceedings, SG Mehta argued that the violence in Delhi had been strategically planned to coincide with the then U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to India, with the alleged intent of damaging India’s global reputation.
