Delhi riots: Police can't have half-truths to make case against me, says Umar Khalid

Former JNU student leader Umar Khalid has claimed that statements of the witnesses in the Delhi riots conspiracy case were written by someone else.

Former JNU student leader Umar Khalid told a court here on Monday that statements of the witnesses in the Delhi riots conspiracy case were written by someone else and given to them as police did not have any evidence, and a case can't be made against him on half-truths.

Khalid and several others have been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), a stringent anti-terror law, and are accused of being the "masterminds" of the north-east Delhi riots in February 2020 which left 53 people dead and over 700 injured.
