Adv plays video before Court: In the video, a boy with a wounded forehead is seen sitting next to woman, who is stated to be his mother. In the video, she can be heard thanking people for her son. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
SPP Prasad now plays a video where it is alleged that Khan was breaking a cctv during riots. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Court: You have stated that he was a part of group Khidmat and Save Constitution.
SPP: That was deleted and not recovered. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
SPP: That was deleted and not recovered. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Court: A point is raised commonly by all counsels is that only some are picked up and others are left out. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
SPP: Investigation is still going on. Witness gives 3 or 4 names at a time... Investigation is from various aspects. #DelhiRiots
SPP: Investigation is still going on. Witness gives 3 or 4 names at a time... Investigation is from various aspects. #DelhiRiots
Pais: I picked out portions cited against me. My learned friend (SPP)n has given the note which encapsulates allegations against me. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: 7/12 2019. Umar Khalid introduced Sharjeel Imam to Yogender Yadav. Reads further. That's Allegations made. No witness, no basis for this assertion. Makes this assertion in thin air. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: By he I mean the chargesheet. A chargesheet cannot be a narrative without a basis. The supplementary chargesheet is without a basis. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais reads chargesheet on meeting for plan of action for CAB among various persons: He is present at the meeting. No criminality. No members speak of conspiracy. Several others who attended are not arrested.
Pais: A person who has only statement of Tahira Daud. What she said. She says on chakka jam but no criminal conspiracy. If she says planning to do protests, you have Imam, Yogender Yadav, Umar Khalid, etc. how do you assess it? #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: 10 Dec. Page 7. Point 2. CAB team protest attended by Khalid, Asif Tanha, etc. In full public view it is said attended protests. I dont know what the criminality in attending a protest is. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais on joint meeting of accused Khalid and others: Reads statement from chargesheet on chakka jam. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: This is your honour on basis of assertions of Bond. I have already highlighted the discrepancies in Bond statement and what he has said is not unbelievable. I will not re-read the entire submission why Bond is not reliable. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: Three points without Bond. SPP doesn't tell the court what his answer on discrepancies on Bond is. If he was present in December why he deposed in August. He also doesn't deal with the fact that there was no repercussion of violence, attributed to the meeting. #UmarKhalid
Pais reads chargesheet: Assuming he visited Jamia. There is no criminality in going to Jamia. Thousands go to that area. No allegation of violence attributed to me. 3-4 people spoken of. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: Investigation is ongoing in not an answer. We are talking about Feb, 2020. You cannot say Umar and others were there in meeting. You have to show what is the qualitative difference in action of me and others. I am in custody. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: It is that convenient to talking about 3,4 or 10 people in the same breath when it suits you and then drop it. This is not a civil suit... You choose to emphasise on one person and arrest that person. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais now reads allegation on meeting of Khalid and others at AAJMI: What is interesting is suddenly in arguments creation of WhatsApp group mentioned in chargesheet seems to be dropped. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: I was alleged that JCC was created at my behest. I was able to show it was someone else. Now that argument is very conveniently dropped. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais reads Yogender Yadav and Umar Khalid detained: How is this any conspiracy to lead to an act of terror. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais reads allegations on meeting: Assertion without a witness to support it. Pure imagination of the prosecution. You first want to make a story and then make evidence to complete that story. All these Bond.. As unbelievable when you read. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: You make these random allegations — Khalid met Saifi, etc. At this rate you can say anything in the chargesheet. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais on allegation of giving speech: This is an assertion that there was protest. He is said to have given a speech and unless a criminality is shown, democratic right of freedom of speech and expression allows him to give a speech. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais on an alleged meeting: It was given a colour of criminality. On WhatsApp four messages, one of which was givign direction. Even if that meeting did take place. and I took part in it, there is nothing criminal. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais on an allegation of meeting: Assertion with most loopholes in chargesheet. They rely on 1 witness in his who gives 4 statements — 2 in this crime, 2 in FIR 101. He doesn't not say what the conversation of the people was. The statement was rejected by coordinate bench.
Pais: There was a completely egregious statement that meeting was held when Trump came to Delhi... On all fores this is a completely false statement. No response on Saturn. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais reads allegation on Sharjeel Imam giving speech and Khalid inciting violence: Statements relied on are Gamma and Echo... Very interesting. Chargesheet seeks to call it a secret meeting, while none witnesses say so. Except Sierra no one says it is a secret office or meeting.
Pais: Allegation of secrecy seems to made. Selfies are put on social media where prosecution finds it. I cannot believe that such material can show any secrecy. #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
Pais: Chargesheet doesn't say it is provocative speech but the witness says it is. Goes back to question first write the story and then who can I get to support it. Then when I find it, I put it in the story. If there were truthful statements,...then nothing
Pais: I am on bail. In fact, on the radar. Media is reporting on every speech given by me. A policeman has my number and calls me. This has been shown. How is it secrecy? #UmarKhalid #UAPA #DelhiRiots
