Khalid, jailed since 2020 under anti-terror charges linked to Delhi riots, was briefly released to attend a family wedding under strict conditions.

Umar Khalid, former JNU student leader and activist, was granted seven days of interim bail to attend a family wedding from December 28, 2024, to January 3, 2025.
Khalid has been in custody since September 2020 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, accused of inciting violence during the 2020 Delhi riots.
