The India — Delhi High Court granted Sheikh Abdul Rashid, a India — Lok Sabha member, one-week interim bail to visit his ailing father. Sheikh Abdul Rashid is currently jailed in a terror funding case. The court imposed strict conditions, including that he must be accompanied by two plainclothes police officials at all times and that he can only visit the hospital or his home, with limited visitors. The India — National Investigation Agency opposed the interim bail, suggesting custody parole instead, due to concerns about Sheikh Abdul Rashid potentially influencing witnesses, as alleged during a previous bail period. Sheikh Abdul Rashid has been in Tihar Jail since 2019 and is facing trial for allegedly funding separatists and terror groups in Jammu and Kashmir.
