A Delhi court on Monday dismissed an application filed by former Jawaharlal Nehru University scholar Umar Khalid, seeking permission to meet his family during police custody. On September 13, Delhi Police's Special Cell had arrested Khalid following a case related to the widespread violence which broke out in Delhi's northeast area in February this year, after which he was sent to police custody for 10 days. His remand period is slated to conclude on September 24. The former JNU student, who has been booked under UAPA, had knocked on the doors of the court requesting it to allow him to meet his family for two days for a period of 30 minutes each.
