Patiala House Court Extends Interim Bail Of Baramulla MP Rashid Engineer Till October 15

The Patiala House Court has extended the interim bail of Baramulla MP Rashid Engineer, who is currently in Tihar Jail for a terror funding case, until October 15. His interim bail, originally granted for campaigning in Jammu and Kashmir’s Assembly elections, was set to expire today.

Interim Bail Extended Multiple Times

Rashid Engineer, also known as Sheikh Abdul Rashid, received interim bail until October 2 and was due to surrender on October 3. However, the court extended his bail to October 12 following a request from his lawyer, before further extending it to October 15. He was arrested by the NIA in 2019 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

Terror Funding Case Background

Rashid’s name surfaced during the interrogation of businessman Zahoor Watali, arrested for funding terrorist groups in Kashmir. The Patiala House Court had framed charges against several individuals, including Hafiz Saeed, Syed Salahuddin, and Yasin Malik, for their involvement in separatist activities backed by Pakistan’s ISI.
