Argument against his bail in Delhi riots case to continue on Jan. 24, 31
Former Jawaharlal Nehru University student leader Umar Khalid was “trying to create a perception” by referring to web series like “Family Man“ and “Trial of Chicago 7” and did not want to argue on the legal merits of the case, the prosecution told a Delhi court on Tuesday. It was arguing against his bail in the “larger conspiracy” case pertaining to the north-east Delhi riots under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Special Public Prosecutor Amit Prasad told Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat that the fact that Mr. Khalid wanted to equate his trial in the case to the web series was “very unfortunate”.
