Delhi violence: Police in Supreme Court against High Court order


- Students accused of being involved in terrorist activity

- Natasha, Devangana will not be released for the time being as the police want more time for the documentary process

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has granted bail to three activists in the Delhi violence case, against which the Delhi Police has appealed to the Supreme Court. And has demanded the cancellation of this bail. Police claim the students were not protesting peacefully and crossed a line to break the law.

Earlier, while granting bail, the Delhi High Court had said that opposing the government or any other issue on any issue was not a terrorist act. A case was filed against the accused under UAP in the Delhi violence case. Cage-breaking activists Natasha Narwal, Dewang's Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha were granted bail by the high court.

However, Natasha and Devangana demanded their immediate release before a local court. But police said it would take time to verify their documents. As a result, the order has been postponed until Thursday. This means that these students will not be released even though they have been granted bail. On the other hand, the Delhi Police has challenged the High Court order in the Supreme Court, so the release of these students will depend on what is decided by the Supreme Court. Violence erupted on February 9, 2020 in northeast Delhi during protests and support for the CAA, in which 20 people were killed. The activists arrested in the meantime include Natasha, Dewangana and Asif.

Police in their argument to the Supreme Court claimed that there was no peaceful protest by these students but they are accused of being involved in violence.

A bench of the Delhi High Court, while granting bail, said that at first glance, it appeared that the accused were not directly involved in the crime. After which he was granted bail.
