A Delhi court on Tuesday modified the bail conditions of Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad, allowing him to visit Delhi but has to inform the DCP crime before coming to the city.

Bhim Army chief Chandra Shekhar Azad moved the session court for his bail application. Azad played a crucial role in mobilizing people in the anti-CAA-NRC protests at the gates of Jama Masjid at Darya Ganj. He managed to escape the police when they initially detained him but later surrendered apprehending violence. Azad is a Dalit minority leader who has to lead some crucial social movements in the country, in the past. The case was posted before the Tis Hazari Additional Sessions Judge Dr. Kamini Lau. The bail application was shabbily opposed by the Public Prosecutor. Their main allegations were that Azad had incited violence through his social media posts at Jama Masjid, Daryaganj. Mahmood Parcha was representing Azad in his bail plea. The prosecution began and the public prosecutor made references to the social media posts of the Bhim Army Chief. However, when Parcha requested a copy, the public prosecutor denied sharing the posts. However, the presiding judge slammed the prosecutor and said that it is mandated to share the posts with the lawyer unless there is an arising claim of special privilege. 

After 15 days of his detention, the personal doctor of Azad has stated that the Bhim Army Chief is being denied the proper medical attention required for his health in Tihar Jail. General Secretary of Indian National Congress, Priyanka Gandhi has demanded his release on 05 January 2019 as reports suggest his medical conditions to be critical leading to a cardiac arrest. The demand is to immediately shift him to AIIMS and fetch the proper medical treatment required. In a tweet by Priyanka Gandhi, she says that there are no grounds to detain him in Jail. If he is unwell, he should not be denied medical treatment. She demands that Azad should be sent to AIIMS to be treated immediately.
