A Delhi court has instructed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to respond by tomorrow to an interim bail plea by Engineer Rashid. Rashid, arrested in a 2016 terror funding case, is seeking bail to take his parliamentary oath as an MP.
Rashid, formerly an MLA from Jammu and Kashmir, has been imprisoned since 2019. He won the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by defeating former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
The bail plea was moved before Additional Sessions Judge Chander Jit Singh on June 4. However, the NIA requested more time to file its response.
