6 बार जमानत खारिज, 13 बार सुनवाई टली, क्या मुसलमान होना Umar Khalid का गुनाह है?

The Delhi High Court has once again rejected the bail plea of activist Umar Khalid, marking the sixth time his bail has been denied since his arrest in September 2020 under the UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act). This video takes you through the chronological journey of his legal battle, from the initial FIRs to the repeated setbacks in Sessions Court, Delhi High Court, and even the Supreme Court. Umar Khalid, accused of being a key conspirator in the 2020 Delhi riots during the visit of then U.S. President Donald Trump, has faced multiple charges under IPC sections including 147, 148, 302, 149, 124A, 153A, and UAPA provisions. Despite no conclusive trial and frequent delays, he has spent over 1,800 days in prison. Courts have often cited the 2019 Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali precedent, stating they cannot go into the “depth of the case” at the bail stage and must rely on the prosecution's version. From his initial arrest on 14 September 2020, multiple bail applications have been filed and rejected—three times by Sessions Court and three times by the Delhi High Court. His attempts to seek relief from the Supreme Court also stalled repeatedly due to adjournments, delayed hearings, and procedural complications. In this detailed report, anchored by Hemant Yadav and researched by Asif Syed, we break down every major hearing, the legal arguments made by both sides, the court’s reasoning, and the ongoing implications of prolonged undertrial detention in UAPA cases. Watch this episode to understand: Why Umar Khalid’s bail has been repeatedly denied. How the legal system has handled his case over the past five years. What this means for civil liberties and dissent in India.
