# Tarun Tejpal Cites Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam Jail Cases 2026-08-06T14:29:50+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Tarun Tejpal told reporters that Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam are in jail in connection with the 2020 Delhi riots case. Citing their cases, Tejpal said he was also one of them, NDTV reports. The report does not provide further details about the circumstances of Tejpal’s remark or explain the comparison he was making. It also does not include responses from Khalid, Imam, investigators or any court. The account therefore records Tejpal’s statement, rather than establishing any legal finding about his own position or case. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: 2020 Delhi riots, Sharjeel Imam, Tarun Tejpal, Umar Khalid Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/tarun-tejpal-cites-umar-khalid-sharjeel-imam-jail-cases/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
