New Delhi, Oct 28, KNT: In the latest development, Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) President and Baramulla MP Er Rashid will stay in jail till November 19, as the Patiala House Court in New Delhi has deferred orders on his regular bail application.
This comes after Er Rashid surrendered to Tihar Jail authorities earlier Monday, in compliance with earlier orders in his interim bail application.

Er Rashid as per the news agency Kashmir News Trust has been allegedly involved in a militancy funding case investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) since 2017. He was granted interim bail till October 2, which was later extended till October 12, allowing him to campaign in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections.

Er Rashid, a two-time MLA from Langate, had won the Lok Sabha polls against the present chief minister Omar Abdullah earlier this year.

The Patiala House Court’s latest decision has put Er Rashid behind bars until November 19, pending further review of his regular bail application. [KNT]
