Yasin Malik, currently imprisoned at Tihar Jail in Delhi, has filed a petition in the Delhi HC stating that he has been on a hunger strike since November 1
Malik, who is serving life imprisonment in Tihar Jail in a terror funding case, was charge-sheeted by the Central Bureau of Investigation before the TADA court in Jammu on August 31, 1990, in connection with the case.
Former IAF corporal Rajwar Umeshwar Singh, who survived the terror attack that killed four IAF soldiers, identified Malik in court as the principal gunman. Malik watched the court hearings via video from Delhi's Tihar Jail, where he has been detained since 2019.
Prima facie it was revealed that they were planning to revive the JKLF and hurriyat. JKLF was banned by the Indian government a month after the Pulwama attack under the anti-terror law passed in 2019.
