So, the three student activists will remain in jail today as well. 

The Supreme Court will on Friday hear a Delhi Police plea against the Delhi High Court decision to grant bail for student-activists Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha.

The three - arrested in May last year over alleged links to the riots that erupted amid tension over the citizenship law - were given bail Tuesday on personal bonds of  50,000 each and two sureties of a similar amount. Other conditions for their release included surrender of passports.

The High Court had ordered their release by 1 pm Wednesday, but that deadline slipped by as Delhi Police filed a last-minute petition to stop them from leaving Tihar Jail.
