Umar Khalid amplified false narrative on social media, Delhi Police tells court

The Delhi Police told a court hearing the bail plea of Umar Khalid in the 2020 Delhi riots case that he orchestrated a false narrative in his favour through social media.

The Delhi Police told a court here Tuesday that former JNU student Umar Khalid amplified a false narrative in his favour through social media, completing its arguments against his bail plea in the 2020 Delhi riots case.
Khalid is an accused in the alleged larger conspiracy behind the 2020 northeast Delhi communal riots. He has been booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
The arguments against Khalid's bail plea were made on Tuesday before Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai.
Special Public Prosecutor Amit Prasad said Khalid's mobile phone data revealed he was in contact with some actors, politicians, activists and celebrities and sent them some links by certain news portals against the Delhi Police.
These links were sent with a request to share them on their social media accounts to set a particular narrative and amplify it.
Citing his chats with these people -- who have a considerable social media following -- Prasad said Khalid amplified his narrative as part of a conspiracy.
The SPP also played a video clip in the court, where Khalid's father was being interviewed by a news portal.
The SPP said his father told the portal that they did not have faith in the Supreme Court. "They don't have faith in the Supreme Court, and, therefore they came to the trial court. This is how they are creating a narrative (in his favour)," he said.
The SPP said Khalid had requested members of a WhatsApp group to schedule protests after a particular top court proceeding.
He also rejected the contention of Khalid seeking parity with other co-accused, who have been granted bail.
The matter has been posted for Wednesday for rebuttal by Khalid's counsel.
Khalid and several others have been booked under the anti-terror law UAPA and several provisions of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly being the "masterminds" of the February 2020 riots, which left 53 people dead and over 700 injured.
The violence had erupted during the protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).&nbsp;

Advocate Rajat Nair, appearing for the Delhi Police, urged the bench to grant him some time to file a counter affidavit in the matter.

SC to decide on Umar Khalid's bail plea in UAPA case on July 24

Advocate Rajat Nair, appearing for the Delhi Police, urged the bench to grant him some time to file a counter affidavit in the matter.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would hear on July 24 a plea by former JNU student Umar Khalid seeking bail in a UAPA case related to the alleged conspiracy behind the riots here in February 2020.
The Delhi Police sought time to respond to the petition during the hearing before a bench of Justices A S Bopanna and M M Sundresh.
Advocate Rajat Nair, appearing for the Delhi Police, urged the bench to grant him some time to file a counter affidavit in the matter.
"In a bail matter, what counter is to be filed. The man is inside for two years and 10 months," said senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Khalid.
Nair said he is praying for a short time to file counter in the matter.
"The charge sheet is voluminous. It runs into thousands of pages," he said, while requesting the bench to grant them some "reasonable time".
"It should have been ready today," the bench observed and posted the matter for hearing on July 24.
On May 18, the apex court had sought response of the Delhi Police on Khalid's plea.
In his appeal, Khalid has challenged the Delhi High Court order refusing him bail in the case.

A Delhi Court on Thursday granted bail to former JNU&nbsp;student&nbsp;Umar Khalid in a case related to the violence in Delhi on February 24, 2020 over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests.
The court said that Khalid had been chargesheeted on insignificant material which is unwarranted, adding that there is no evidence of Khalid&rsquo;s presence at the scene of crime.
Opposing his bail, the prosecution had argued that many people related to the &lsquo;riotous mob&rsquo; are yet to be identified, but the Court said that Khalid cannot be incarcerated in jail for infinity just because others who were part of the mob have not yet been identified and arrested.
The charge sheet also accused Umar&nbsp;Khalid of &lsquo;criminal conspiracy&rsquo; in connection with former AAP counsellor&nbsp;Tahir Hussain and alleged that he had planned violence during the former US President Donald Trump's visit to Delhi. The court went on to say that it could not find any rationale in the act of the police involving Khalid in this isolated case for the offence of conspiracy.
The court, however gave him bail on several conditions - Khalid has been asked to furnish a personal bond of Rs 20,000, appear before the Court on every date of hearing, furnish his mobile number to the police upon his release from the jail and also install the &ldquo;Aarogya Setu App&rdquo;.
