Today, On 28th April,The Delhi High Court granted parole to PFI leader OMA Salam for attending family matters, stating, “If the accused wants to do the ritual, they can,” while observing that whether the ritual is mandatory or optional is not important.
The National Investigation Agency opposed OMA Salam’s request for a 15-day custody parole to attend religious ceremonies in Kerala following his daughter’s death. While the NIA suggested a one-day visit was reasonable, the court noted the need for verification of Salam’s claims regarding the rituals. Salam is under arrest for alleged terror-related activities.
