Bengaluru, Jan 18 (UNI) The Karnataka High Court has refused to grant bail to Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) KG Halli ward president Imran Ahmed in the Bengaluru violence case of August 2020, saying that the charges against him are prima facie proved.
The division bench denied Ahmed bail on the grounds that the act amounts to a terrorist act as per sections 15 and 20 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), 1967.
The bench sustained the prosecution's submission by saying that the policemen, who are witnesses in the chargesheet, had identified Ahmed among others as pouring petrol and setting ablaze a bike parked near the KG Halli police station.
