A Delhi court has granted interim bail to Lok Sabha MP Engineer Rashid until October 12 in a terror funding case. Rashid, who gained prominence by defeating former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in the 2024 elections for Baramulla, sought bail to campaign for the upcoming Jammu & Kashmir assembly elections. He has been in Tihar jail since 2019 after being arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The court’s decision follows a previous custody parole granted for Rashid to take his oath as an MP. A ruling on his regular bail application is expected soon.
