Delhi High Court Seeks Yasin Malik's Response on NIA's Death Penalty Plea
On Aug 5, 2025, the Delhi HC directed separatist leader Yasin Malik to reply to the NIA’s appeal seeking to upgrade his life term to a death sentence in a terror funding case. Convicted in 2022 under UAPA and IPC, Malik had pleaded guilty but claimed a shift to non-violence. The court must now decide if his actions meet the “rarest of rare” test for capital punishment.
