Sharjeel Imam, Accused in Delhi Riots Case, Gets 7-Day Interim Bail to Attend Cousin's Wedding
The court set a Rs 50,000 bond and two sureties as Imam awaits a September 30 hearing on his regular bail plea.
- Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai granted interim bail to activist Sharjeel Imam from October 4 to 10 to attend his cousin's wedding, requiring a personal bond of Rs 50,000 and two sureties.
- Imam remains in custody regarding FIR 59 of 2020, linked to February 2020 communal violence in Northeast Delhi that resulted in 53 deaths and more than 700 injuries.
- The Delhi High Court is scheduled to hear Imam's regular bail plea on September 30, though Delhi Police have opposed his release by describing him and Umar Khalid as alleged "masterminds."
- Temporary relief is not unprecedented for Imam; in March, a Delhi court granted him 10 days of interim bail to attend his brother's wedding and care for his ailing mother.
- On Monday, September 21, the Delhi High Court deferred the regular bail hearing for Imam and Khalid until September 30, with a bench comprising Justices Prathiba M Singh and Dinesh Kumar Sharma presiding.
