Delhi court discharge order of #UmarKhalid and #KhalidSaifi in #Delhiriots case: As far as accused Saifi and Khalid are concerned, I find that allegations made against them relate to Umbrella Conspiracy, rather the conspiracy peculiar to incident investigated in this case.

Order: I have already discussed scope of 2 different conspiracies. Since, Umbrella Conspiracy—larger conspiracy to incite riots in Delhi—is already subject matter of consideration in FIR 59/2020 (UAPA).., these 2 accused are entitled for discharge. #UmarKhalid #KhalidSaifi

Order: There is concept of an Umbrella Conspiracy being the larger conspiracy and several smaller conspiracies hatched under the larger conspiracy. The objective of Umbrella Conspiracy may be wider than the objective of smaller conspiracy. #UmarKhalid #KhalidSaifi

Order: Planning to ignite a communal riot at a large level and taking steps for prosecution of such plan, could be Umbrella Conspiracy and participants to this conspiracy may or may not be part of each smaller conspiracies and vice versa. #UmarKhalid #KhalidSaifi

Order on charges against rest of the accused including Tahir Hussain: All accused indulged into targeting Hindus and their such acts were apparently prejudicial to the harmony between communities of Muslims and
Hindus. They did disturb public tranquillity through their actions.

Delhi Riots: Umar Khalid, Khalid Saifi facing larger conspiracy case; deserve discharge in rioting case, Delhi Court says
