AIP appeals to CJI for justice, expeditious bail for Er Rashid

AIP chief spokesperson Inam Un Nabi Saturday said that seven years of incarceration of an elected Member of Parliament without the trial reaching its logical conclusion was not merely a legal matter but a serious test of justice, constitutional values and human conscience. Inam was addressing a press conference and flanked by State Secretary Sheikh Ashiq and General Secretary Nazir Ahmad Khan here on the completion of seven years of incarceration of AIP President and Member of Parliament from Baramulla, Er. Rashid Speaking on the occasion, he said: Er Rashid is not merely an accused. He is the democratically elected Member of Parliament from Baramulla, representing nearly 40 percent of Kashmirs population. For seven long years, the democratic voice of his constituents has remained away from the people who elected him, Inam said. Making a humble and heartfelt appeal to the Chief Justice of India, Justice Surya Kant, Inam urged that Er Rashids bail plea be considered with compassion, urgency and constitutional fairness. He said the judiciary has repeatedly emphasised the importance of personal liberty and the principle that bail is the rule and jail is the exception. We are not questioning the judicial process. We have complete faith in the judiciary. Our only request is that justice must not be delayed, particularly when personal liberty is at stake, he said. Inam said that seven years cannot be returned to Er Rashid, his family or his constituents. Seven years with his family cannot be restored, seven years of public service cannot be recovered and seven years of Parliamentary representation cannot be brought back, he said. He also stressed that the consequences of prolonged incarceration were not confined to Er Rashid alone. The suffering is shared by lakhs of voters who placed their trust in their elected representative and whose voice has remained absent for seven years, he said. Referring to Article 21 of the Constitution, Inam said the right to life and personal liberty was a fundamental constitutional guarantee and that prolonged incarceration and delay in trial deserved the highest judicial consideration. We are not seeking any special privilege for Er Rashid. We seek equal justice, equal treatment and the protection of constitutional guarantees available to every citizen. Our appeal is not political. It is constitutional and humanitarian, he said. Inam Un Nabi also highlighted what AIP described as a significant development in the proceedings concerning Er Rashid before the Court of the Additional Sessions Judge, Patiala House Courts, New Delhi. According to the proceedings of July 6, 2026, Mohammad Yasin Malik, while appearing through video conferencing, personally submitted before the Court that the investigating agency had wrongly implicated Engineer Rashid by attributing to him the identity of Sheikh Abdul Rashid mentioned in an alleged email. The court proceedings record Yasin Malik as stating that there was another person named Sheikh Abdul Rashid associated with the JKLF and that the investigating agency had wrongly implicated Engineer Rashid in his place. Yasin Malik also submitted an affidavit in this regard, which the Court accepted on record and stated would be considered while passing orders on charge. Inam said this development assumes considerable significance because the attribution of Sheikh Abdul Rashid to Engineer Rashid had been one of the allegations repeatedly relied upon against him. He said the Court record now contains a specific statement from the principal accused disputing that identification. For years, Er Rashid has maintained that the Sheikh Abdul Rashid referred to in the alleged communication was not him but another individual bearing the same name. Today, that very contention has been placed before the Court by Yasin Malik himself and has been supported through an affidavit taken on record, Inam said. He, however, made it clear that the final determination rests with the Court. We are not pre-judging the matter. But if this position is ultimately accepted by the Court, it would seriously undermine one of the foundational allegations that has been repeatedly levelled against Er Rashid, he said. The report records that such a finding could lend substantial support to Er Rashids long-standing contention that he was wrongly identified in relation to this aspect of the case. Inam said the latest development further strengthens the need for the Court to examine the question of personal liberty, prolonged incarceration and the evidentiary basis of the allegations with the utmost sensitivity. While appealing to the Chief Justice of India, Inam Un Nabi said Let justice be timely. Let personal liberty receive the priority it deserves. Let the constitutional principle that bail is the rule and jail is the exception be meaningfully upheld. Let compassion, fairness and justice prevail. He also remembered Er Rashids family, who, he said, had endured seven years of separation, uncertainty and emotional hardship, and reiterated AIPs faith in the Supreme Court of India and the Constitution of our country (India).

Crime Branch Jammu registers FIR in overseas visa, job fraud case

Jammu, Aug 08: The Special Crime Wing (SCW) of Jammu's Crime Branch registered an FIR on Saturday in connection with an alleged overseas visa and employment fraud involving multiple accused persons, an official said. The case stems from a joint written complaint filed by several residents of Doda district. They alleged that Bilal Ahmad, a resident of Kishtwar's Dachhan area currently based in Dubai, induced them with promises of arranging visas and employment in Dubai, a SCW spokesperson said. Acting on these assurances, he said the complainants transferred substantial sums of money into the bank accounts of different individuals as instructed by the accused. During the preliminary enquiry, it surfaced that the funds were routed through the bank accounts of Yasir Arfat, Ashiq Hussain, and Moin Khan, who allegedly acted in coordination with the main accused, the spokesperson said. He said the evidence prima facie indicated a well-planned criminal conspiracy involving multiple people to cheat innocent job aspirants under the guise of providing overseas employment. Accordingly, the spokesperson said a formal case was registered on Friday against the accused persons under the relevant provisions of law, adding that the investigation will focus on tracing the money trail, identifying the role of each accused, and securing justice for the victims. The SCW advised the public to exercise utmost caution while dealing with individuals or agencies offering overseas jobs or visa services. It urged people to verify the credentials of such entities through authorised government channels before making any payments and to promptly report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station or helpline.
