The Supreme Court denied bail to student activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots case, citing a "hierarchy of culpability." While five co-accused were granted bail, the court found Khalid and Imam to be "ideological drivers" central to the alleged conspiracy's planning and preparation, distinguishing their roles from mere facilitators.
