b'
Delhi\\u2019s Karkardooma Court rejected the bail plea of activist and former JNU student Umar Khalid, on 24 March, in connection with the Delhi Riots \\u2018larger conspiracy\\u2019 case. This comes after the court deferred the pronouncement of the order three times consecutively.

Khalid was arrested in 2020 and slapped with the stringent UAPA charges along with 17 others on accusations of \\u201cmasterminding\\u201d the Delhi 2020 riots, which had left 53 people dead and over 700 injured.

But only six have received bail so far. Faizan Khan, Safoora Zargar, Asif Iqbal Tanha, Natasha Narwal, and Devangana Kalita \\u2013 who were given bail by the Delhi High Court but Ishrat Jahan recently managed to get bail from the same sessions court that denied bail to Umar Khalid.

\\n\\n
While Khalid\\u2019s lawyer argued that allegations against him have been made out of thin air what reasons did the court give for dismissing his bail? How did Ishrat Jahan get bail but not Umar Khalid?
