The Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted bail to Jamia Millia University student Safoora Zargar,after the police said they had no objection to her release on “humanitarian grounds”.

Zargar, 27, was pregnant when she was arrested on April 10 on conspiracy charges over the riots that broke out in February during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. She was granted bail but rearrested on more severe charges under the Unlawful Activities(Prevention) Act. Her arrest and incarceration provoked strong condemnation from students and activists.Since Zargar was 23 weeks pregnant,concern had been expressed about her health and safety in Tihar Jail due to Covid-19 pandemic.
