A Delhi court on Saturday discharged Sharjeel Imam in a case related to the violence that took place at Jamia Millia Islamia in December 2019, reported Bar and Bench.
Additional Sessions Judge Arul Verma of the Saket courts also discharged Asif Iqbal Tanha in the same case.
Both Tanha and Imam were accused by the Delhi Police of rioting, unlawful assembly and several other offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The court discharged the duo but framed the charges of unlawful assembly and rioting against one Mohammed Iliyas.
A detailed order is awaited.
Despite discharge in the present case, Imam will continue to remain in jail, since he is also an accused in the Delhi violence conspiracy case and some other FIRs, reads the report.
Tanha, however, is out on bail.
