The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has extended the ban on the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (Mohd. Yasin Malik faction) as an 'unlawful association' for a further period of five years.
Senior Public Prosecutor for the CBI, Monika Kohli, on Friday said eyewitnesses have identified Yasin Malik, chief of the banned outfit Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), as the shooter in the killing of four Indian Air Force personnel in 1990.
Nirmal Khanna, wife of Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna who was allegedly killed by Yasin Malik and his accomplices at Rawalpora in 1990, said on Saturday that it is a pity that Mushaal Malik is being used for personal politics by the government of Pakistan.
The Delhi High Court on Friday allowed the petition of Tihar Jail Authority to seek permission to produce Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chief Yasin Malik through video conferencing only due to security reasons.
The Delhi High Court will hear the plea moved by National Investigation Agency (NIA) seeking Court permission to produce JKLF chief Yasin Malik through video conferencing only due to due to security reasons on August 4, 2023.
The NIA in its application stated that Yasin Malik has been lodged in the Tihar Jail, New Delhi, under the category of very high risk prisoners, and thus, the present application is in relation to a heavy security issue.
During the search operation, three smartphones, two keypad phones, two data cables, an adaptor, a knife, and an iron borer (sua) were found hidden 2-3 feet beneath the ground at multiple locations, authorities said.
According to the prison official, Deputy Inspector General (Prisons-Headquarters) Rajiv Singh will inquire about the lapse, fix the responsibility of erring officials, and submit a report to the Director General (Prisons) within three days.
In his letter to Bhalla, Mehta further said that even the security of the Supreme Court would have been put at serious risk if any untoward incident were to happen.
Yasin Malik, who is serving life sentence in Tihar Jail after being convicted in a terror funding case, was to be presented before the top court for a hearing on a CBI plea against Jammu court order.
