The Delhi high court has granted interim bail to Engineer Rashid, a member of Parliament from Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla, from June 25 to June 30 to enable him to attend his father's post-death rituals.

A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Madhu Jain directed Rashid to surrender on June 2 upon the expiry of his current interim bail period.

Rashid has been in custody for over six years since his arrest in 2019 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. He is accused of being part of a conspiracy involving illicit funding and terror organisations aimed at fuelling separatist activities.
