Delhi Police Seeks Cancellation of Sharjeel Imam's Interim Bail Over Bail Condition Violation
The Delhi Police have petitioned a court to cancel interim bail granted to Sharjeel Imam, accused in the 2020 Northeast Delhi riots conspiracy case, alleging he violated bail conditions by interacting with media during his temporary release. The court had barred Imam from using social media and contacting media persons while on bail from October 4 to 10 to attend family weddings. Police described his actions as deliberate misuse of court-granted liberty. Imam faces charges under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and Indian Penal Code.
