‘You will rise, Umar Khalid’: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra pens poem for student-activist
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has penned a poem, ‘You will rise, Umar Khalid’, for activist Umar Khalid, who is accused of being involved in a conspiracy behind the Delhi riots of 2020 and was recently denied bail by the Supreme Court.
Sharing the poem on her ‘X’ account on Wednesday, Moitra has written, “You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise… You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. (sic)”
Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, former JNU student-activists, were denied bail by the apex court on Monday in the Delhi riot case, while five others, Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, Shifa Ur Rehman, and Mohd. Saleem Khan and Shadab Ahmad, were granted bail.
A group of JNU students had earlier allegedly shouted slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as Home Minister Amit Shah on the JNU campus after denial of bail to Khalid and Imam, drawing sharp criticism from senior BJP leaders.

Bengaluru police debunks viral video claiming ‘zombie drug’; Here’s what they said ?
A viral video claiming the presence of “zombie drugs” in Bengaluru has been debunked following an investigation by the Bangalore City Police.
The video, which circulated widely on social media platforms, showed a man in a disoriented state and was shared with claims that a dangerous new drug had entered the city.
It was reportedly filmed near a college in the Bagalur area, where the individual was seen standing still with little response to his surroundings.
In a release, the police said the video had come to their notice, following which personnel from the Bagalur Police Station traced and secured the individual near Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology.
He was then subjected to a medical examination.
According to the police, medical reports showed that no known narcotic or psychotropic substances were detected.
The police said the individual is suffering from arthritis and had consumed prescribed pain medication along with alcohol, which led to his disoriented condition as seen in the video.
Further inquiry found that the individual had come to Bengaluru in search of livelihood and has been residing in the city for the past three months. Further investigation is ongoing.
The police urged the public not to share unverified or misleading information on social media, stating that such content can create unnecessary panic and harm individuals’ reputation.
They also warned that strict action would be taken against those spreading false information or rumours.
