Delhi riots charge sheet reads like script of ‘Family Man', says Umar Khalid’s lawyer

Umar Khalid's lawyer said Delhi police's allegation that the former JNU student leader was maintaining a "facade of secular politics" is a figment of the imagination, adding that it "reads like a 9 pm TV news channel script."

New Delhi: Former JNU student leader Umar Khalid, arrested under the stringent anti-terror law UAPA in the north-east Delhi riots conspiracy case, told the court on Friday that the charge sheet against him reads like a web-series or TV news script and referred to Harry Potter villain Voldemort while attacking it. Khalid and several other are accused of being the "masterminds" of the February 2020 riots which had left 53 people dead and over 700 injured. He has sought bail in the case.
