Overview
- Patiala House Courts magistrate Aridaman Singh Cheema granted bail to six accused on Rs 15,000 bonds and denied bail to four others flagged for an alleged organising role.
- The court said investigators have seized CCTV, protest videos and mobile data, and found nothing on record showing the six released belong to radical outfits.
- Bail was refused to Gurkirat Kaur, Ravjot Kaur, Ayisha Wafiya and Abhinash Satyapati after the judge noted assertions of pro‑Hidma sloganeering, alleged RSU links and risk of repeat offences.
- The November 23 demonstration, billed as a student protest over air quality at India Gate, was described by police as unauthorised and confrontational, with some agitators accused of using pepper spray on officers.
- Police say 23 people were arrested across two FIRs at Parliament Street and Kartavya Path, and several bail petitions remain pending as the investigation into alleged RSU members and a possible wider conspiracy continues.
