**Supreme Court to Hear Bail Pleas of Activists in Delhi Riots Conspiracy Case**

**New Delhi, September 22, 2025** – The Supreme Court is set to hear the bail applications of activists Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid, and three other individuals today in connection to the larger conspiracy case surrounding the 2020 Delhi riots.

The hearing, before a Bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and Manmohan, comes after the Delhi High Court denied bail to the accused on September 2. The High Court cited the accused’s “prima facie grave” roles in what the prosecution argues was not a spontaneous protest but a “premeditated, well-orchestrated conspiracy.”

Besides Imam and Khalid, the bail rejections by the Delhi High Court also concerned activists Gulfisha Fatima, Khalid Saifi, Athar Khan, Mohd. Saleem Khan, Shifa-ur-Rehman, Meeran Haider, and Shadab Ahmed. Another accused, Tasleem Ahmed, had his bail plea rejected by a separate High Court Bench on the same date.

The Supreme Court hearing follows two previous adjournments on September 19 without explanation, raising speculation about the complexities of the case. The outcome of today’s hearing could have significant implications for the ongoing legal proceedings and the activists involved.
