Yasin Malik, currently in custody for his alleged involvement in funding terror activities in Kashmir, stands accused of perpetrating several heinous crimes on Indian soil. Among these accusations are the kidnapping of former Chief Minister Mufti Sayeed's daughter, Rubaiya Sayeed, and the murder of four Indian Air Force officers in January 1990, including Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna.
The video further recalled the September 19, 2008, operation by the Delhi Police, during which Inspector Mohan Chandra Sharma lost his life in a gun battle with Indian Mujahideen terrorists Atif and Sajid.
