As part of the conspiracy, he had departed Delhi on February 23, SSP said.SPP Amit Prasad made this submission on the basis of prosecution witnesses.Prasad referred to the statement of protected witness Neon who had testified that he was told by Amanullah that Umar Khalid won't be in Delhi on February 24 so that no one can have doubt about him.SPP also referred to the statement of Tariq Anwar, a resident of Nevada Bihar. He testified that he had organised a protest in his area. Umar Khalid was invited to speak at the protest site.During the hearing on August 1, the prosecution had said that the North East Delhi violence was the result of a larger conspiracy and the idea was to create a sense of fear in the minds of Muslims and to paralyse the city.The senior advocate appearing for Umar Khalid had concluded his arguments on the bail plea.

It is based on hearsay.During the argument on May 23, 2022, he argued that Sharjeel Imam had criticized a secular movement against CAA and Khalid does not agree with it.Pais said, "I am (Umar Khalid) being lumped with a person who calls for a deeply communal protest against CAA.
