SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chief Muhammad Yasin Malik was Tuesday shifted to Delhi’s Tihar Jail after the NIA secured his production in the false cases.
Malik, who was arrested last month and shifted to Kot Balwal Jail in Jammu, will be facing questions related to funding of his organisation from the National Investigation Agency.
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has reserved its judgment on a plea of the CBI for re-opening three-decade-old cases in which Malik was an accused.
The JKLF chief is facing charges of kidnapping and murder for being allegedly involved in abducting Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of then Union Home Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed in 1989 and killing of four Indian Air Force personnel in the early part of 1990.
Commenting over the Yasim Malik arrest, chief minister IOK Farooq Abdullah expressed regret over his arrest and said the if the increase in cruelty will incite the fire in the valley.
