A sessions court on Friday granted six-month interim bail to JNU students Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya, who were charged with sedition by Delhi Police, with the judge stating that the accused are “highly educated”, have graduated from “premier colleges” and have “no previous criminal record”. Additional sessions judge Reetesh Singh rejected the argument of the Delhi Police Special Cell that allegations against the duo were different from those against co-accused and JNU students’ union leader Kanhaiya Kumar. Bail for the two was being granted on “ground of parity”, he stated.
