Five years is time enough for people to fall in love, marry, and raise children, Umar Khalid says, but he has spent that time in jail for a crime he hasn’t even been proven guilty of. In a letter from Delhi's Tihar Jail, Umar Khalid has written that he’s ‘no longer an optimist’.

Umar Khalid has been in jail for more than five years without a trial. His only crime is that he is a nationalist and stands against the RSS. Tomorrow Supreme Court of India will hear his bail petition. Hope this man finally gets the justice he truly deserves 🥹❤️

IF THEY JAIL US, WE WILL GO TO JAIL SINGING SAARE JAHAN SE ACCHA HINDUSTAN HAMARA The above are the words of Umar Khalid, the alleged mastermind of the Delhi riots case. Khalid and Sharjeel Imam have spent over 5 years in jail without a trial. Naturally, they are not convicted. In the meantime, a man convicted of rape is out on his 15th parole. He has been out of jail for over 400 days in the last 5 years since imprisonment. He is close to the powers-that-be in Delhi. God bless us all. Do watch. Share if you like. #NoTelePrompter #UmarKhalid

Sonam Wangchuk has spent almost three months in jail without committing a crime. Unfortunately he has been forgotten like Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and many others. Kudos to Sanjay Singh AAP for talking about Wangchuk and Mehraj Malik in the parliament.

Abhijeet Dipke remembers Umar Khalid on his birthday and asks everyone to read Umar Khalid’s book. 😂 Yes, the same Umar Khalid who has been in jail for the last six years under the UAPA, alongside charges of criminal conspiracy, rioting, and murder in connection with the Delhi riots. You can imagine what all Umar Khalid must have written in his book - blaming Modi, the RSS, the RW, and the Indian Army for every wrong thing. 🤣 This is what Abhijeet Dipke promotes, and this is what the entire CJP and their protest are about.

One viral video. One doctored clip. Umar Khalid, the man who's been hated for it ever since! But here's what almost nobody talks about: Delhi Police's own 2016 chargesheet admits Umar Khalid never said those words. So why, in 2026, is he still sitting in Tihar - 5 years, 9 months, and not a single day of trial? This is Day 8 of 30 Darkest Stories of India. The real reason he's behind bars has nothing to do with that video. Comment "TRIAL" if you want the full breakdown. #CockroachJantaParty #UmarKhalid #BJP #UAPA #JusticeDelayed

#WATCH | Delhi: On the Supreme Court refusing to grant bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in a case registered under UAPA, CPI-M leader Brinda Karat says, "We have seen the Supreme Court order. While we welcome the release of five of the other accused, it is most unfortunate that Umar Khalid has not been granted bail. He has been demonised by the government and the investigative agencies... He poses no danger to the state... To keep him incarcerated on utterly false charges is most unfortunate."
