While the leftists claim that Umar Khalid’s bail hearing is being deliberately delayed, Umar Khalid himself is to blame for 7 out of 14 adjournments.

While the New York Times reporter Suhasini Raj lamented that ‘political activist’ Umar Khalid is languishing in jail since his arrest 14th September 2020 for his alleged involvement in anti-Hindu Delhi riots that broke out on 24th of February that year, she did not delve into why there has been an inordinate delay in his hearings.

OpIndia found that out of the 14 adjournments in his case between 2023 and 2024, 7 delays and adjournments were sought by Umar Khalid himself.

Lahiri claimed that media channels branded Khalis as a “mastermind” of the Delhi riots without any evidence. She called the situation a “traffic comedy”.

Notably, it does not matter if the person who orchestrated the riots was present at the scene when violence broke out or not.
