Umar Khalid Bail | Umar Khalid, Prime Delhi Riots Accused Gets Interim Bail For 2 Days

Jailed student activist Umar Khalid has been granted interim bail for two days to attend to his mother during a surgery and take part in a ritual pertaining to his uncle's death. The Delhi High Court granted the bail on Friday, days after a trial court rejected his plea. He will be out on bail from June 1 till June 3 to attend to his ailing mother. He will also take part in the Islamic ritual of Chehlum, observed 40 days after the death of a family member. Khalid has been in jail in connection with the larger conspiracy case linked to the 2020 Delhi riots. He had sought a temporary release for 15 days before a trial court. According to the plea filed before the trial court, his uncle Khursheed Ahmad Khan died on April 10, and the Chehlum ritual was scheduled to be held in Delhi on May 24. Khalid had also submitted that his mother has been unwell and has been advised a lump excision surgery on June 2.
