Haal hi me ek adalati sunvai ke dauran, Delhi Police ne 2020 ke northeast Delhi dango mein kathit roop se shamil Jawaharlal Nehru University ke purv chhatra Umar Khalid ke liye zamanat pradan karne ke khilaf tark pesh kiye. Khalid, jo ki sakht Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) ke tehat aropit hai, 53 logon ki maut aur 700 se adhik ghayalon ke sath hui hinsa ke mukhya shadayantrakarta hone ka arop hai.
Vishesh Lok Abhiyogi Amit Prasad ne Khalid ke mobile phone data se prapt sabooton ka hawala diya, jo darshata hai ki kis prakar se unhone saarvajanik dharna ko prabhavit karne ka prayas kiya tha social media ke madhyam se. Prasad ke anusaar, Khalid ne vibhinn kshetron ke prasiddh vyaktiyon se sampark kiya, police dwara dango ki handling ke viruddh links saajha kiye, aur unhe apne manchon par in kathaniyon ko badhava dene ke liye kaha.
Iske alava, abhiyozan paksh ne Khalid ke pita ka ek video interview prastut kiya, jisme unhone Supreme Court me vishwas ki kami vyakt ki, yah darshata hai ki kis prakar se ek soochi bandh tareeke se saarvajanik ray aur nyayik prakriyaon me vishwas kam karne ka prayas kiya gaya tha. Sath hi, WhatsApp group ke madhyam se vishesh court karyavahiyo ke baad asantosh phailane ke liye protests ka aayojan karne me Khalid ki bhumika ko shadayantra ka ek hissa bataya gaya.
