The Delhi Police have filed a response before the Delhi High Court asserting that pregnancy cannot be a factor to release Safoora Zargar on bail, while also asserting that there is "strong, cogent, reliable and sufficient material available proving the direct involvement" of Zargar in conspiring to destabilize the ruling Government (Safoora Zargar vs State).

However, given that the investigation is at a crucial juncture, the police have said that they cannot disclose all particular materials of the investigation to the accused.
