New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) of India has approached the Delhi High Court seeking death sentence for Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief and Hurriyat leader Mohammad Yasin Malik.
The petition is listed for hearing on May 29 before a Division Bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Talwant Singh.
Malik was sentenced to life imprisonment by a special NIA court in a militancy funding case in May 2022.
The NIA had demanded capital punishment for Malik before the trial court as well.
