A Delhi court has asked the NIA to respond to jailed MP Engineer Rashid’s plea seeking custody parole to attend the upcoming Budget Session of Parliament. The matter has been listed for further hearing on January 21.
Engineer Rashid, the recent winner of the Baramulla seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, has applied for regular bail. The NIA strongly opposes his request as he is currently detained in connection with a 2017 terror funding case in Jammu and Kashmir. The court is expected to announce its verdict on September 4.
