The story so far: A Jammu court on Tuesday turned down Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yasin Malik’s plea to physically attend court and cross-examine witnesses in the 1989 Rubaiya Sayeed abduction case, a CBI counsel said. Ms. Sayeed in July 2022 identified Mr. Malik as one of her abductors.
“When she made her statement (before the court) she categorically stated that he (Yasin Malik) is the one. She said he is the one and his name is Yasin Malik. When asked questions about Malik and photographs were shown, she specifically stated ‘I remember him categorically’,” advocate Monica Kohli told The Hindu.
