Court Grants Bail To AAP Ex-Councillor In Case Related To 2020 Delhi Riots

The court said after Tahir Hussain's bail plea in the case was rejected in November last year, there had been a "change in material circumstances".

A court in Delhi has granted bail to former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillor Tahir Hussain in a case of alleged criminal conspiracy, unlawful assembly and attempt to murder related to the 2020 northeast Delhi riots.

The court said after Hussain's bail plea in the case was rejected in November last year, there had been a "change in material circumstances".

Hussain, however, will continue to remain incarcerated as he is accused in other rioting cases, including one lodged under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) related to the alleged conspiracy behind the communal riots.
