Riots: Bail for JNU ex-student Umar Khalid

New Delhi, April 15

A Delhi court on Thursday gave bail to former JNU student Umar Khalid in a case related to the communal violence in Delhi in February last year, saying he cannot be made to incarcerate in jail for infinity.

The court said Khalid was not present at the scene of the crime. “The applicant is not visible in any CCTV footage pertaining to the scene of crime. There is no identification of the applicant...,” Additional Sessions Judge Vinod Yadav noted. Khalid, however, will remain in jail as he faces other cases. — PTI
