The National Investigation Agency has recently moved the Delhi High Court seeking a death sentence for Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik.
NIA sought death penalty for Yasin Malik, who was prior sentenced to life imprisonment, before the trial court, but got rejected.
In May 2022, Malik, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front chief, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Delhi court and was convicted under the relevant sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act in a terror funding case.
However, Yasin chose not to contest the charges and plead guilty instead.
Other defendants included, Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Hizbul Mujahideen chief Salahuddin, Rashid Engineer, Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali, Shahid-ul-Islam, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Khan, and Farooq Ahmad Dar.
Now the Delhi HC bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Talwant Singh will hear the plea by NIA on Monday.
