North East Delhi Riots 2020 Case: Court Grants 7 Days Interim Bail to Sharjeel Imam to Attend Marriage of Cousins

The court set a Rs 50,000 bond and two sureties as Imam awaits a September 30 hearing on his regular bail plea.

  • Activist Sharjeel Imam was granted interim bail from October 4 to 10 to attend his cousin's wedding, with Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai ordering a personal bond of Rs 50,000 and two sureties.
  • The Delhi Police Special Cell is investigating FIR 59 of 2020, stemming from February 2020 communal violence in Northeast Delhi that killed 53 people and injured more than 700.
  • Separately, Imam's regular bail plea is scheduled for the Delhi High Court on September 30. Police previously opposed his release, describing Imam and Umar Khalid as alleged "masterminds" of the conspiracy.
  • This marks the second time Imam has received temporary relief; 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.
