Delhi Court Cancels Sharjeel Imam's Interim Bail Over Media Contact Violation
A Delhi court cancelled activist Sharjeel Imam's interim bail in the 2020 northeast Delhi riots case after finding he violated bail conditions prohibiting contact with media persons. The court reviewed video evidence showing Imam present during a media interview with his brother, rejecting the defence's claim that he did not interact with journalists. The bail had been granted for seven days to attend family weddings. The Delhi Police had petitioned for cancellation, alleging deliberate breach of court-imposed restrictions.
