Overview
- Tis Hazari Additional Sessions Judge Joginder Prakash Nahar on January 24 maintained regular bail for Md Ubedullah after a court-ordered reconsideration.
- The Delhi High Court had set aside the earlier January 20 bail as “cryptic and unreasoned” and remanded the matter for fresh evaluation, calling the case an exceptional instance for interference.
- On reconsideration, the judge recorded that CCTV and other material did not show a prima facie connection to stone‑pelting, noted the absence of prior criminal history, and found further custody unnecessary.
- Police say 150–200 people attacked officers during an MCD anti-encroachment drive near the Faiz‑e‑Ilahi mosque on the night of January 6–7, injuring six policemen, with around 18–20 arrests made.
- The FIR invokes multiple Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, with the prosecution relying on CCTV footage and a co‑accused’s disclosure as the investigation continues.
