SPP Amit Prasad begins arguments.

SPP: To substantiate that #CAA, #NRC protests were not organic — chat of #SharjeelImam which shows "hum testing kar rahe hain, Khureji site" #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: Not it was not only not organic (protests), I am now showing why locals did not support. #CAA #NRC #UmarKhalid #DelhiRiots

SPP: Locals are not supporting and you are importing. FB messages show. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: Anybody who says #ShaheenBagh , Nani-Dadi protest — it was clearly not. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP reads a chat message: You have already succeeded in making Shaheen Bagh and now you want to make a Shaheen Bagh of Khureji. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: What was tried to be projected is that Sharjeel Imam was out of #SharjeelImam.

SPP: Who are these people who joined protests — women who were brought from outside. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: You have managed some people from #PinjraTod group and now Rahul Roy is organising some people to come. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: Various ICLU lawyers were there saying we will provide legal support. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: Names of Savitri Bai Phule and Fatima Sheikh were used. Protest sites were at poorest of the poor areas and narrow areas. The object was to use these populations as fodder. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: Main persons going to protest sites. #HarshMander. Where did he go? Khureji protest site. So they were coordinating. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: There was no local involvement. They were managed by various teams. They were different teams. We precisely have shown this in our chargesheet. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: Normal women are not bothered by civil society, agenda based protest. Bandar waala aata hai damroo bajayega so that environment is created. That is what happened here. You brought artistes, you gathered mass. You do some kind of performance. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: Setting up of toilets (at protest sites) was because you brought people from outside and had to make arrangements. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: Not our case that investigation has stopped. It is going on. Not like people have been given clean chit. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: Material has come which shows knives, stones, red chilli powder was collected. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: When you do announcements from masjid, you identify the place, you show a secular face, you make a pandit do pooja there. You are wanting to create a secular facade. When you see a narrative going to public, you want to change the narrative. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: We say women folk were brought in there. Message from Anas Tanvir — please give stage to women. He is saying give stage to women, you dont get identified. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

SPP: When we say there were communal angles, they say protest secular and chargesheet is communal. Prosecutor refers to the suggestions of setting up blood donation camps and Khalid Saifi saying it was "unislamic". #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid

Hearing to continue Monday. #CAA #NRC #DelhiRiots #UmarKhalid
