New Delhi, April 21 A Delhi court on Tuesday dismissed the bail application of Jamia Coordination Committee's media coordinator Safoora Zargar who was arrested for allegedly hatching a conspiracy to incite communal riots in the national capital's northeast area.

The Special Cell of Delhi Police had arrested her on March 13 in connection with the case, following which she moved the bail application. Metropolitan Magistrate Vasundhara Chhaunkar passed the order in this regard.

Widespread violence between people supporting citizenship law and those opposing it had spiralled out of control in the area last month leaving 53 people dead and scores injured.

She was also held in another case pertaining to organising anti-CAA protests in the Delhi's Jafrabad area, last year. She was arrested on April 11 in this matter.

It was after the protest at the Jafrabad Metro Station that clashes broke out in the area at the end of February.
