A Delhi court has granted interim bail to 2020 Delhi riots accused Sharjeel Imam, allowing him to attend his cousins' weddings between October 4th and 10th. Imam, who faces charges under the UAPA in an alleged larger conspiracy case, must surrender by the evening of October 10th. The bail comes with stringent conditions, including a ₹50,000 bail bond and surety, restrictions on contacting witnesses, and a ban on social media usage. This temporary release follows a previous denial of bail in July, where Imam and co-accused Umar Khalid argued for their right to liberty during pre-trial detention. The 2020 Delhi riots, sparked by protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and National Register of Citizens, resulted in significant loss of life and injuries.

A court on Tuesday granted interim bail to 2020 Delhi riots accused Sharjeel Imam to attend the weddings of his two cousins between October 4 to 10. He has been chargesheeted under UAPA in an alleged larger conspiracy case.

The two cousins were identified as Danish Iman and Fahad Imam. One of the weddings is being held in New Delhi while the other is in Bihar's Sasaram. He should surrender before the jail authorities on the evening of October 10.

Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai of Delhi's Karkardooma court granted the bail on the condition of furnishing a bail bond of ₹50,000 and one surety in the like amount.

Imam is restricted from contacting any person or witness connected to the riots case. He is also not allowed to use social media or meet anyone outside the family.

On July 4, a Delhi court denied bail to Imam and co-accused Umar Khalid in the case related to a larger conspiracy behind the 2020 Delhi riots case.

Both of them had sought bail, saying they have been imprisoned without starting a trial, contending it violated their fundamental right to liberty.

At total of 53 people were killed and more than 700 injured in the violence erupted during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC).
