This is the second time Islam sought bail. Islam iterated that he was falsely implicated.
Calling the FIR the complainant's imaginary story, his bail plea said that even if the statements of witnesses are taken as gospel truth, without admitting anything on record, for the sake of arguments, then also it won't be able to fulfil the ingredient of Section 311 of BNS.
The section deals with the offence of robbery or dacoity with an attempt to cause death or grievous hurt. The plea also said that he was in jail for seven months and there was no likelihood of the trial commencing soon.

Cash haul row: SC questions Justice Yashwant Varma over his petition against impeachment; posts plea for hearing on July 30
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday raised several questions while hearing Justice Yashwant Varma's plea seeking to invalidate an in-house inquiry committee's report that indicted him over a large quantity of burnt cash found at his official residence during his tenure as a Delhi high court judge. A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and A G Masih questioned senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Justice Varma, asking, "Why did you appear before the inquiry committee? Did you come to the court that the video be removed? Why did you wait for the inquiry to be completed and the report be released? Did you take a chance of a favourable order there first?" The bench also expressed concern over the parties named in the petition and observed that the in-house inquiry report should have been filed along with the plea. In response, Sibal argued that Article 124 lays out the process and said, "The release of video on SC website, public furore, media accusations against judges are prohibited as per constitutional scheme." The court then directed Sibal to file one-page bullet points and correct the memo of parties, and posted the matter for hearing on July 30. Justice Varma has challenged the May 8 recommendation made by then Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, which urged Parliament to begin impeachment proceedings against him. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo In his plea, Justice Varma claimed the inquiry had "reversed the burden of proof", effectively requiring him to disprove the allegations instead of the panel proving them. He alleged that the panel's findings followed a 'preconceived narrative,' and that the inquiry was rushed 'even at the expense of procedural fairness'. According to the petition, the panel reached adverse conclusions without granting him a full and fair hearing. The report, prepared by a three-judge committee led by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu of the Punjab and Haryana high court, concluded that Justice Varma and his family had "covert or active control" over the storeroom where the half-burnt cash was discovered, amounting to serious misconduct warranting removal. The panel conducted the inquiry over ten days, examined 55 witnesses, and visited the site of the accidental fire, which broke out around 11:35 pm on March 14 at Justice Varma's official residence in Delhi. At the time, he was serving as a Delhi High Court judge; he currently serves in the Allahabad high court. Following the findings, then CJI Khanna wrote to President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi recommending Justice Varma's impeachment.

Muslim cleric booked for ‘objectionable' remarks on Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav
A Muslim cleric has been booked for allegedly making objectionable and inflammatory remarks against Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav during a televised debate, an official said on Monday (July 28, 2025). The FIR against cleric Maulana Sajid Rashidi was lodged at the Vibhuti Khand police station on Sunday (July 27, 2025) evening on a complaint by local resident Pravesh Yadav. The remarks in question were allegedly made in response to Dimple Yadav's recent visit to a mosque, where the cleric reportedly commented inappropriately on her attire. The complaint accused Rashidi of making statements that were not only derogatory and misogynistic, but also "highly provocative and aimed at inciting religious disharmony and communal tension," according to the FIR. Pravesh Yadav alleged that Rashidi's comments, made publicly on social media and national television, were "an affront to a woman's personal dignity" and appeared to be a deliberate attempt to provoke unrest, it showed. "He made extremely offensive, inflammatory, and anti-women remarks against honourable MP Mrs Dimple Yadav, wife of former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, following her presence at a mosque on July 26," Pravesh Yadav said in his written complaint. "Such statements hurt not only women's dignity but also threaten the unity, integrity, and peace of the nation," he said. The FIR has been registered under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Section 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 196 (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, etc), and 197 (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration), among others. Provisions under the Information Technology Act have also been invoked for the circulation of the content on digital platforms. In his complaint, Pravesh Yadav further alleged that Rashidi's language and tone indicated an "anti-national mindset" and linked him to a group "working to disturb social harmony in India." "Such elements are a direct threat to the secular, democratic, and inclusive fabric of the country," the complaint added. A police official said the matter is under investigation and appropriate action will be taken based on the findings.
