Arguments took place in Karkardooma Court on Thursday on the bail application of Sharjeel Imam, a JNU student arrested in connection with the Delhi riots conspiracy.

After hearing both sides, the court has reserved its decision on the application.

The Special Public Prosecutor said that on December 13, 2019, Sharjeel gave a speech at Jamia Millia and the next day had a meeting regarding the Chakka Jam conspiracy.

In a meeting held at a Dhaba in JNU, it was decided to plan ahead and involve PFI and other organizations.

Sharjeel visited Jamia and after that, there were riots, in which ten policemen were injured and three buses were burnt.

He argued that the imam had walked out of the ongoing protest at Shaheen Bagh as part of the plan.

The defense said that even the farmers had done the wheel and road blockade.

Due to their protest, the Prime Minister had to come on TV and announce the withdrawal of agricultural laws.
