The Delhi Police on Monday submitted before the High Court that student activist Safoora Zargar, who was arrested in a case related to northeast Delhi violence, created turmoil and imperiled national security. "The applicant/ accused was not only disposed towards creating turmoil to severely undermine public order and imperil national security but erode and frustrate the civil compact which holds our polity together," the status report said. "The applicant/ accused combined with the other accused weaved a web of actions animated by an unlawful object of creating terror and disaffection. The Delhi High Court adjourned the hearing in the bail plea today after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and Additional Solicitor General Aman Lekhi sought an adjournment till tomorrow on the ground that it may help summarily decide the issue. Safoora Zargar had moved the High Court challenging an order of a trial court in Delhi, which had dismissed her bail application.
