Delhi Police have moved to revoke interim bail granted to activist Sharjeel Imam, claiming he has breached the conditions laid down by the court. The police petition, filed in connection with an ongoing case, cites purported video footage circulating in media channels as evidence of the alleged violation.
According to the law enforcement agency, the video shows Imam in direct interaction with media representatives, which contravenes the bail conditions imposed by the court. The alleged violation forms the basis of the police's application for bail cancellation.
The case represents the latest development in legal proceedings against Imam, whose detention and bail status have been subjects of considerable public interest. The interim bail arrangement had been granted following earlier court proceedings, with specific conditions attached to regulate his movements and conduct.
The police petition will likely be considered by the court in due course, where both the prosecution and defence will present their respective arguments regarding the alleged breach and its implications for the bail arrangement.
