The Delhi Police has advanced its case against activists Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, Meeran Haider, Gulfisha Fatima, and others charged in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy, filing an affidavit with the Supreme Court that accused the violence of being part of an orchestrated "regime-change operation.
The affidavit, submitted to counter the bail pleas of the accused, claims that the 2020 violence was no spontaneous protest but a "well-thought-out effort" aimed at destabilising the country and hurting India's international reputation.
