In her bail plea, she raised her pregnancy as one of the grounds for relief.

The Delhi High Court Tuesday granted bail to Safoora Zargar on “humanitarian” ground. It also put the condition that she will not leave the national capital and refrain from influencing or hampering the ongoing.

The 27-year-old Jamia Coordination Committee Media Coordinator was arrested by the Special Cell on April 10 and is facing a case under anti-terror law, UAPA, in connection with the riots that broke out in northeast Delhi against the Citizenship Amendment Act in February.

The high court court further directed Safoora to remain in touch with the Investigation Officer (IO) via phone at least once in 15 days and directed to provide a bail bond of Rs 10,000 and a surety of the same amount.

The Delhi Police on Monday had dismissed Safoora’s pregnancy as a ground to grant her bail and opposed the bail plea in the high court. Refusing to grant her bail on the ground of pregnancy, the police had submitted that as many as “39 deliveries have taken place in Delhi prisons in the last 10 years”.

The police had earlier claimed that Safoora allegedly blocked a road near Jaffrabad metro station during the anti-CAA protests and instigated people that led to the riots in the area. It further claimed that she was allegedly part of the premeditated conspiracy to incite communal riots in northeast Delhi in February.

In her bail plea, she raised her pregnancy as one of the grounds for relief. Safoora, M Phil student of Jamia Millia Islamia University, is more than four months pregnant.

Safoora had challenged the June 4 order of the trial court denying her bail in the case. The trial court, in turn, had said when you choose to play with embers, you cannot blame the wind to have carried the spark a bit too far and spread the fire.
