NIA opposes interim bail plea of jailed MP Er Rashid in HC

The NIA on Monday opposed in Delhi High Court a plea by jailed MP Rashid Engineer for interim bail in a terror-funding case to attend Parliament.

In its response to Engineer’s plea before Justice Vikas Mahajn, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said it was a classic case of misuse of the interim bail provision ought to be used sparingly when intolerable grief and suffering was displayed by the accused concerned.

Rashid’s interim bail plea is scheduled for February 4.
