What a surreal justice system... a man in jail without trial for almost 4 and a half years, for crimes he did not commit. Effectively denied bail, as bail hearings are postponed time after time. But he is freed for a few days to attend a family wedding.
On Wednesday, Khalid was directed to furnish a Rs 20,000 personal bond and two sureties of the same amount. He has been prohibited from using social media or contacting witnesses related to the case.

As the city’s mass public transport decays, mega infrastructure projects that have disrupted traffic are focused on cars and the affluent class.
