A Delhi court orders that activist Umar Khalid be allowed two weekly video calls (e-mulakats) with his family. Multiple reports say Khalid had been permitted two weekly video meetings since his detention but that jail authorities reduced the facility to one call per week from May 2026. Khalid approached the court seeking restoration of the two-call schedule, arguing that the reduction was unjustified. The court agrees and restores the two weekly meetings, according to the sources. One report also notes that the order follows the rejection of Khalid’s recent bail pleas by a Delhi court. Khalid remains in jail in connection with the 2020 northeast Delhi riots conspiracy case. The reports do not indicate changes to the underlying case or trial proceedings; the decision focuses specifically on the number of weekly video calls allowed to him while he is incarcerated.
