‘Scales of justice are breaking': Mehbooba Mufti flags ‘double standards’ as Gurmeet Ram Rahim gets parole, Umar Khalid remains jailed
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti criticized the Supreme Court's denial of bail to activist Umar Khalid in the 2020 Delhi riots case, calling it a "travesty of justice." She contrasted this with repeated parole granted to rape convict Gurmeet Ram Rahim. The court cited a prima facie case against Khalid under UAPA, while granting bail to five other accused.
