Delhi High Court Grants Bail to Accused in ISIS-Linked Terror Funding Case
The Delhi High Court granted bail to Mohd Shahzad Kamal, accused in a 2018 terror conspiracy case linked to the pro-ISIS group Harkat-ul-Harb-E-Islam, after over five years in custody. Kamal faces charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and IPC for allegedly funding terrorist activities. The court noted the trial's slow progress, with only one of 161 prosecution witnesses examined, and clarified that bail does not affect the trial's merits. Kamal was arrested in August 2021 and had his earlier bail plea rejected by a trial court.
