New Delhi, Dec. 11 -- A Delhi court on Thursday granted interim bail to former JNU scholar and Delhi riots conspiracy accused Umar Khalid so he can attend his sister's wedding. Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Sameer Bajpai allowed Khalid to remain out on bail from December 16 to December 29.

"Considering the fact that the marriage is of the applicant's real sister, the application is allowed," the court said, granting interim bail on a personal bond of Rs.20,000 with two sureties of the same amount.

As part of the conditions, Khalid has been directed not to use social media and to meet only family members, relatives and friends during this period.
