Jailed Ex-Congress Councillor Ishrat Jahan Seeks Bail In Delhi Riot Case
NDTV
In November last year, the court had denied interim bail to Ishrat Jahan considering the gravity of the offences including those lodged under the stringent anti-terror law.
Former Congress Councillor Ishrat Jahan, arrested under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, has moved a Delhi court seeking bail in a conspiracy case connected to the northeast Delhi riots. Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat will hear the arguments on the plea on July 12. Advocate Pradeep Teotia along with lawyer and Ishrat Jahan's sister Sarwer Jahan is representing her in the case. "She has been shown to be the leading female face of the protest. This is one of our grounds in the bail plea. We are fighting for justice and to prove her innocence to the court as she has been falsely implicated," said Sarwer Jahan.More Related News
