CBI Court Summons Rubaiya Sayeed To Appear In Case Involving Yasin Malik On July 15

Yasin Malik is also facing trial in the much-publicised 1989 abduction case of Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of the then Union home minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.

New Delhi: A Central Bureau of Investigation court on Friday summoned Rubaiya Sayeed, former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Mufti Sayeed's daughter, to appear before it in a case involving Yasin Malik. Rubaiya has been asked to appear before the CBI court on July 15, news agency PTI reported officials as informing. This comes after Yasin Malik, a Pakistan-trained militant and chief of the banned Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), was on May 25 sentenced to a life term by an NIA court in a terror funding case.

The prominent Kashmir separatist leader has been in and out of jail several times dating back to his student activism days before the onset of militancy in 1990.

Malik is also facing trial in the much-publicised 1989 abduction case of Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of the then Union home minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, as well as an attack by JKLF militants on IAF personnel in Srinagar that left four dead and many others injured in 1990.

The contentious JKLF leader renounced the path of violence and donned the political cloak in 1994 had announced the Gandhian way of protest after his release and was perceived to be a moderate voice in the separatist camp. 

He was arrested in early 2019 in connection with a 2017 terror-funding case registered by National Investigation Agency (NIA).
