New Delhi, India – India’s Supreme Court has granted bail to five Muslim students and activists in prison for more than five years in connection with the 2020 religious riots in the capital, New Delhi.

But the top court denied bail to two high-profile scholars – Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam – who will remain in the high-security Tihar jail waiting for their trials to start.
