The Delhi High Court on Friday granted a three-day interim bail to student activist Umar Khalid to allow him to meet his mother, who is undergoing surgery.
Khalid is currently lodged in jail in connection with the conspiracy case linked to the 2020 Delhi riots. The court granted the bail days after his plea was rejected by the trial court. Khalid will be out on bail from June 1 till June 3.
While granting interim relief, the court imposed several conditions on Khalid’s movement during the bail period. The High Court directed that he must remain at his designated residential address and can visit only the hospital where his mother is admitted.
The court made it clear that Khalid would not be permitted to travel to any other location apart from the hospital and his residence. He has also been directed to remain within the National Capital Region (NCR) during the period of interim bail.
As part of the bail conditions, Khalid has been asked to furnish a surety bond of ₹1 lakh. The court further directed that he will use only one mobile phone number during the interim bail period.
Khalid was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in connection with the alleged conspiracy behind the communal violence that broke out in northeast Delhi in February 2020.
