Jamia CAA violence case: Sharjeel Imam discharged by Delhi court; still faces 2020 riots conspiracy case

Additional Sessions Judge Arul Verma on 4 February 2023 discharged Imam and Tanha in the case.

Pronouncing a verdict in the case of violence at Jamia Millia Islamia university in 2019, a Delhi court discharged student activists Sharjeel Imam and Asif Iqbal Tanha.

Additional Sessions Judge Arul Verma on 4 February 2023 discharged the two in the case related to violence at Jamia following protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. A detailed order in the matter was not immediately available.

However, Imam will continue to remain in jail as he is also an accused in the case related to an alleged conspiracy behind the 2020 Delhi riots.

Police had registered an FIR under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including rioting, in connection with the communal violence that erupted after a clash between police and people protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
