With folded hands, Engineer Rashid seeks interim bail to attend Parliament

After Rashid urged the principal district and sessions judge, Vimal Kumar Yadav, to grant him reprieve, the court asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to file a response by November 27.

Engineer Rashid, appearing virtually in court from Tihar Jail, said, “I have been elected by my people. I was not allowed to attend the last session. With folded hands I request you that I may be granted interim bail.”

During the proceedings, the counsel for Rashid and the NIA jointly sought the matter to remain in the court hearing it and not transfer it to another court.
