The National Investigation Agency claimed that Yasin Malik used contacts with Pakistan’s PM and President to push Kashmir’s secession agenda. The High Court will now hear arguments on whether his life sentence in the terror funding case should be increased.
The Delhi High Court dismissed appeals filed by Masarat Alam, Shabir Shah and others against the order framing charges in a J&K terror funding case under UAPA. The Court held such appeals are barred under Section 21 of the NIA Act as they challenge interlocutory orders.
A Delhi court has denied the bail plea of Lok Sabha MP Engineer Rashid, arrested in 2019 for his involvement in a 2017 terror funding case related to militant activities in Jammu and Kashmir. The NIA argued against his release, citing that he should not exploit his MP status to evade imprisonment.
