A court here on Thursday dismissed applications seeking to produce former JNU student leader Umar Khalid and activist Khalid Saifi, arrested in connection with last year’s Delhi riots, before it in “handcuffs” and sought an explanation from the DCP concerned for moving such a plea. The court noted that the applications had been filed by the in-charge, lock-up, Karkardooma District Courts, reportedly after “a decision was taken in the matter by so-called senior police officers of Delhi police to move such applications before the court”. The pleas, which came up for hearing before judge Vinod Yadav, sought to produce both the accused in “handcuffs in both hands from back side”, contending that they were “high-risk prisoners”.
