Delhi HC grants interim bail to Engineer Rashid to attend father’s funeral

The Delhi High Court on Monday (May 18, 2026) granted interim bail till June 2 to Baramulla MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid, popularly known as Engineer Rashid, who is lodged in Tihar Jail in a terror-funding case, following his father’s demise.

A Bench of Justices Prathiba M. Singh and Madhu Jain directed that Rashid be accompanied by at least two police officials in plainclothes from the moment he leaves the jail until his return from Srinagar.

The court allowed him to visit the burial ground or any other place of worship, but restricted his movement to his residence in Srinagar and Langate, preventing him from travelling elsewhere.
