1989 kidnapping case: Rubaiya Sayeed identifies separatist leader Yasin Malik as her abductor

Dr. Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of former Union Home Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed, on July 15 identified Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yasin Malik, 56, and three others as her abductors in the 1989 kidnapping case.

She was making her statement before a special CBI court in Jammu. The abduction led to the release of five jailed militants.

“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.
