Delhi Court Restores Umar Khalid's Two Weekly Family Video Calls
A Delhi court has restored jailed activist Umar Khalid's facility to have two weekly video calls (e-mulakats) with his family, reversing a reduction to one session from May 2026. The court noted Khalid had been using two weekly e-mulakats for six years without violating prison rules. Khalid faces trial in a larger conspiracy case related to the 2020 northeast Delhi riots, with authorities initially opposing the plea citing prison regulations.
