New Delhi: Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra on Friday shared a picture with former JNU scholar Umar Khalid, who is currently out of jail on interim bail in a case related to 2020 Delhi riots. Kamra posted the picture with the former JNU scholar on his Instagram handle with the caption "heart knows no concept of time".

Famous Bollywood actor Richa Chadha commented a 'heart' emoji on Kamra's post. Notably, on December 18, a Delhi Court granted interim bail to Khalid to attend a wedding in his family from December 28 to January 3.

Here's the post:

Khalid had reportedly sought interim bail for 10 days to attend the wedding. However, he was granted bail for seven days with certain conditions.

He has also been barred from using social media.

Khalid is only allowed to meet his family, relatives and friends during the period of interim bail.
