After the Supreme Court pulled it up for the delay in replying to the bail pleas filed by Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and others in connection with the Delhi Riots conspiracy case, the Delhi Police has filed a 389-page affidavit detailing why the accused should not be granted bail.

The Police has cited "ocular and irrefutable documentary as well as technical evidence" that point to a conspiracy to incite "nationwide riots on communal lines".
