delhiUpdated: Nov 05, 2020, 10:46 ISTA Delhi court on Wednesday granted bail to United Against Hate (UAH) member Khalid Saifi in connection with one of the cases of the north east Delhi riots. The court said booking Saifi on the basis of “insignificant material (witness statement) was total non-application of mind by the police which went to the extent of vindictiveness”. The judge also said that Saifi could not be permitted to remain behind bars on the basis of such sketchy material against him. The court said that Saifi was not visible in any CCTV footage or the viral videos pertaining to the scene of crime on the date of the incident. Communal riots had broken out in Delhi in February this year, claiming 53 lives and leaving over 400 injured.
