Awami Ittehad Party leader Sheikh Rashid Ahmad's -- also known as Engineer Rashid -- surprising victory over National Conference leader and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah and People's Conference leader Sajad Lone from the Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency was the most startling poll result from the Union Territory.
Engineer Rashid has been imprisoned in Tihar jail since 2019 on terror funding charges, and did not campaign in person.
Abrar Rashid, his son, who campaigned for his father and drew large crowds wherever he went, never missed an opportunity to point towards his father's 'unjust' arrest by the central agencies.
