News Desk: Former JNU student Umar Khalid, who arrested under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for his participation in Delhi riots, said that he hasn’t signed any disclosure statement. Khalid earlier spent 10 days in police custody and was arrested again in relation to a violence in Khajuri Khas. His friend claimed that Khalid was hardly interrogated during that period.
Khalid’s lawyer Pais said “Multiple false disclosure statements have been leaked by the Delhi police earlier. That has also led to a completely erroneous narrative. Umar was in police custody for 10 days in FIR 59. At the end of that police custody, Amitabh Rawat, the sessions judge, put it in his order that he has not made any statement”
Pais added “Umar appeared himself and told the judge that he neither made a statement nor signed anything”
The court ordered Khalid a 14 days judicial custody and directed that no harm should be done to him. Khalid was also allowed the facility of two legal interviews through video conferencing of atleast 30 minutes each.
