New Delhi : Yasin Malik, lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail, has been on hunger strike since Friday morning. Malik has alleged that his case is not being investigated properly. Jail officials have given this information. The jail officials talked to him to break the hunger strike and tried to persuade him. However, so far it has not been successful.
In April, 2019, the NIA arrested Malik in connection with terror-funding and separatist groups in Jammu and Kashmir. A year later, in March 2020, Malik and six of his associates were charged under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA), the Arms Act 1959 and the Ranbir Penal Code. The action took place in the attack on 40 Indian Air Force personnel at Rawalpora on January 25, 1990.
