The Supreme Court refused to grant bail to activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, citing a prima facie case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and saying enough material indicated involvement in a criminal conspiracy. Speaking by phone from Tihar jail, Khalid told his partner Banojyotsna Lahiri that he was happy and relieved for others who got bail and said, “Ab yahi zindagi hai” (“This is my life now”). Lahiri posted part of the conversation on X and said she would come the next day for mulaqat. Activists Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, Shifa Ur Rehman, Mohd Saleem Khan, and Shadab Ahmed were granted bail.
