Bulldozer action at Turkman Gate by the MCD
A Delhi court on Tuesday granted bail to all 12 individuals accused of stone-pelting during a demolition drive near Faiz-e-Elahi mosque in Turkman Gate last month.
Additional Sessions Judge Bhupinder Singh granted bail to Mohammad Kaif, Mohammad Kashif, Mohammad Ubaidullah, Mohammad Imran, Mohammad Adnan, Sameer Hussain, Mohammad Naved, Mohammad Athar, Mohammad Areeb, Mohammad Aadil, Amir Hamza and Adnan on a bail bond of Rs 50,000 each.
A detailed order is awaited.
On January 24, a separate sessions court granted bail to Ubaidullah after the Delhi High Court set aside the first bail order on January 20 and sent it back to the sessions court.
