PDP president Mehbooba Mufti criticized the Supreme Court's decision to deny bail to activist Umar Khalid in the 2020 Delhi riots case, deeming it a "travesty of justice." She contrasted this with repeated parole granted to rape and murder convict Gurmeet Ram Rahim. The Supreme Court cited a prima facie case against Khalid under UAPA, while granting bail to five other accused in the riots conspiracy case, which resulted in 53 deaths.
