The Delhi High Court, on Wednesday, 12 July, granted bail to former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain in five cases related to the Delhi riots of 2020.
However, despite this, Hussain will continue to be behind bars because of the other First Information Reports (FIRs) filed against him. These include the UAPA case, which alleges his involvement in a broader conspiracy to incite the riots.
Tahir Hussain faces a total of 11 FIRs in connection with the 2020 riots, with the UAPA case specifically accusing him and others of orchestrating a "larger conspiracy" behind the riots.
Additionally, the Enforcement Directorate registered an Economic Case Information Report (ECIR) against Tahir Hussain.
