Umar Khalid Moves Delhi Court for Interim Bail to Attend Sister’s Wedding

Former JNU scholar Umar Khalid has approached Delhi’s Karkardooma Court seeking interim bail in the Delhi riots conspiracy case to attend his sister’s wedding. He has requested bail from December 14 to December 29, with the wedding scheduled for December 27.

Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai is set to hear the plea on December 11. The Supreme Court is currently hearing Khalid’s regular bail application, and had issued notice on his bail plea on September 22.

Khalid was previously granted a short interim bail in December 2024 to attend a cousin’s wedding. The Delhi High Court had earlier denied him bail on September 2, 2025.

Khalid, arrested in September 2020, faces charges including criminal conspiracy, rioting, unlawful assembly, and offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
