Jailed MP Engineer Rashid moves court, seeks interim bail to attend Parliament’s winter session

New Delhi : Jammu and Kashmir MP Engineer Rashid on Monday moved a Delhi court, seeking interim bail in a terror-funding case to attend the Parliament session.

After Rashid urged Principal District and Sessions Judge Vimal Kumar Yadav to grant him the reprieve, the court asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to file a response by November 27.

Engineer Rashid, appearing virtually in court from Tihar Jail, said, “I have been elected by my people. I was not allowed to attend the last session. With folded hands, I request that I may be granted interim bail.”
