A Delhi court on Thursday granted bail to activist Umar Khalid in connection with last year's riots in Northeast Delhi. The court said that Khalid cannot be kept behind bars on the basis of "sketchy material," noting that charge-sheeting him on "such an insignificant material" was unwarranted. Khalid was arrested in connection with the riots in Khajuri Khas in February 2020.
