NEW DELHI, May 26: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday moved the Delhi High Court seeking a death sentence for Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik.
NIA had sought a death penalty for Yasin Malik, who was earlier sentenced to life imprisonment, before the trial court, but it was rejected. The Delhi HC bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Talwant Singh will hear the plea by NIA on Monday.
In May 2022, he was sentenced to life imprisonment by a Delhi court and was convicted under relevant sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in a terror funding case. Yasin chose not to contest the charges and instead pleaded guilty.
