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. 

In what is said to be unprecedented, the Delhi Police personnel in huge numbers took to the streets in protest. They laid a siege outside the police headquarters on November 05, 2019 and staged a virtual revolt as sparked in the scuffle at the Tis Hazari Court.
