Delhi HC said that in the meetings which took place in February 2020 at Chand Bagh which was attended by Salim Malik, the aspects related to "riot-like violence and burning of Delhi, were openly discussed which is not acceptable in any democratic nation".
Trial court had rejected Malik's bail plea in October 2022 holding that he was organiser of the Chand Bagh protest site where inflammatory speech was made.
Special Public Prosecutor said Umar Khalid s mobile phone data revealed he was in contact with some actors, politicians, activists and celebrities and sent them some links by certain news portals against the Delhi Police.
