SPP Amit Prasad’s arguments in opposition to bail:
Umar Khalid’s membership of different WhatsApp groups whose members have been arrested for violence in Delhi shows there was a common conspiracy behind the riots and Khalid was one of its masterminds;
Speeches made by Umar Khalid and others had common themes of Kashmir, triple-talaq and CAA/NRC. The aim was to create a feeling of fear among minority community;
All the different accused were part of groups, met several times and hatched the conspiracy;
The effort was to destabilise the country and malign its image in the international media and in front of international leaders including then US President Donald Trump;
Khalid acted as a silent whisperer and was one of the brains behind the protests and riots;
Khalid and others were managing each of the protest sites, including Shaheen Bagh, and effort was to create discontent among minorities;
Khalid and others created 24*7 protest sites near mosques, arranged materials, attacked police personnel and the violence finally spread to non-Muslim areas;
Trial court has dealt with every recorded evidence.
