Delhi Riots a 'Regime Change Plot'? Police's Explosive Claim in SC

This special report covers the Delhi Police's affidavit in the Supreme Court opposing bail for Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and others in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. The police have controversially described the violence as a coordinated 'regime change operation'. The affidavit alleges, 'The petitioner systematically delayed trial proceedings through frivolous applications and coordinated non-cooperation.' India Today's Srishti Ojha reports that the police claim the anti-CAA protests were weaponized to destabilize the nation, timed to coincide with US President Donald Trump's visit for global attention. The report features a debate with experts Dr. Vikram Singh and Raghav Awasthi, who support the police's findings, while advocates Kapil Madan and Atikur Rahman raise concerns about due process and the prolonged incarceration of the accused.
