Yasin Malik shifted to Delhi's Tihar Jail
Muhammad Yasin Malik was on Tuesday shifted from Jammu's Kot Balwal jail to the Tihar Jail in Delhi, official sources said. Malik is the chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) and was brought from Jammu to Delhi on an Air India flight in the evening as the NIA Court had issued a production warrant against him.
On March 7, Malik had been booked under the harsh Public Safety Act (PSA) and was shifted to Jammu.
Under the PSA, any person can be kept in detention for two years without any judicial intervention.
Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday summoned former PDP legislator, Ajaz Mir to appear before the agency on April 12 in Delhi in connection with the arms loot case being investigated by the agency.
