The Delhi High Court on Friday sought the Delhi Police’s stand on student activist Sharjeel Imam’s plea seeking bail in a case under the anti-terror UAPA law concerning the “larger conspiracy” behind the February 2020 riots here.

A bench issued notice on Imam’s appeal challenging the trial court’s July 4 decision to dismiss his second bail application. The police has two weeks to file a reply. The matter will now be heard on August 27.
