He was arrested in connection with the Northeast Delhi riots in 2020 by the Delhi Police on September 13, 2020, and booked under provisions of The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi Police charged Khalid with disrupting religious sentiments and argued that he was a part of a larger conspiracy in the riots that shook the national capital. On the completion of his two years in jail, a letter he wrote in reply to educator Rohit Kumar was published by The Wire.\u00a0 He expressed how he crumbles against the perils of loneliness. &#8220;How do we fight against this monstrous machine of lies and falsehood? The purveyors of hate and falsehood have so many resources \u2013 money, pliant 24\u00d77 news channels, lots of them, troll armies, and the police too. To be honest, Rohit, it makes me feel pessimistic at times.
