Summary: Abdul Ahad was granted bail on January 22, 2026, after being accused of snatching a mobile phone in Delhi on November 5, 2023. The judge, Justice Girish Kathpalia, considered the circumstances and granted bail.
On the evening of November 5, 2023, Abdul Ahad was riding his scooter with a friend, Arbaz, in New Delhi. They allegedly grabbed a mobile phone from someone. During the incident, the victim tried to stop them, resulting in a fall and some injuries. Arbaz managed to escape, but Abdul was caught by the police.
Abdul Ahad’s lawyer argued that Arbaz had already been granted bail on August 8, 2025. They also pointed out that the victim couldn't identify Abdul Ahad during the trial. The prosecution, however, opposed the bail, highlighting the injuries the victim suffered.
Justice Girish Kathpalia decided to grant bail to Abdul Ahad, considering he had been in jail since the incident, and the victim's inability to identify him. The judge noted:
“I find no reason to deprive liberty to the present accused/applicant.”
Abdul Ahad was released on bail with a personal promise to pay Rs. 10,000 and a guarantee from someone else of the same amount. The court ordered the immediate communication of this decision to the jail authorities for Abdul's release.
