Delhi Police on Sunday filed a supplementary chargesheet before a Delhi Court against Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and Faizan Khan in the Delhi riots case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
The case concerns the alleged conspiracy that led to riots in the national capital’s North-East area in February 2020.

While Khalid and Sharjeel are in judicial custody in connection with the case, Faizan Khan was granted bail in the matter by the Delhi High Court.
Faizan was accused of supplying a SIM card which was used by Jamia Coordination Committee.
The first chargesheet in the case against 15 people was filed by Delhi Police earlier this year.
Accused persons include Ishrat Jahan, Safoora Zargar, Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita, Tahir Hussain etc.
