2020 Delhi riots: Court denies bail to student activists Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam in larger-conspiracy case

The activists argued their prolonged detention without trial violated their rights, citing recent judicial pronouncements favouring bail. However, the court rejected their pleas, following the Supreme Court's earlier denial of bail in this UAPA-registered case.
