New Delhi: A Delhi court on Saturday denied statutory bail to Sharjeel Imam in a sedition case filed against him for allegedly giving inflammatory speeches at various places in Delhi, including at Delhi’s Jamia area and Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), during the anti-CAA protests in 2019-2020.
Imam had moved the court under section 436A of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), claiming that he had undergone one-half of the maximum period of imprisonment for the offences alleged against him and was entitled to bail.
