Delhi court denies bail to J&K MP Engineer Rashid in terror funding case; NIA opposes plea to attend Parliament.
A Delhi court on Friday dismissed the bail application of the member of Parliament from Baramulla, Sheikh Abdul Rashid alias Engineer Rashid, lodged in Tihar jail in a terror funding case.
Additional Sessions Judge Chander Jit Singh denied him bail on March 21.
Mr. Rashid was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the 2017 terror funding case.
During the hearing, Mr. Rashid had challenged a March 10 order of the trial court, refusing him custody parole to attend the ongoing Lok Sabha proceedings.
In the reply filed to the appeal on March 17, the NIA said the accused could not be allowed to use his status as an MP to “get away from rigours of imprisonment”.
The Central agency had argued that Mr. Rashid could neither be granted interim bail nor allowed custody parole as he had no enforceable right to attend the Parliament session while in lawful custody.
