New Delhi: Haji Khazir Mohammad Sheikh, 85, father of jailed Indian parliamentarian Engineer Abdul Rashid, passed away at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi following a prolonged illness.<\/p>\n

His death was announced through a social media account associated with Er Rashid.<\/p>\n
