Lifer for Yasin Malik: Many pending cases still seek delivery of justice - Greater Kashmir

On January 25, 1990, a group of terrorists, led by Yasin Malik, fired at Air Force personnel, including a Squadron Leader, Ravi Khanna, who died in the attack, while 22 other personnel were injured.

The CBI had filed a chargesheet in the case in 1990 itself. Apart from Malik, others accused in the IAF case include BA Sofi, Mohd Rafiq Pehlu alias Nanaji, Javed Ahmed Mir and Showkat Ahmad Bakshi. At least three of the accused, including JKLF founder Amanullah Khan, the suspected mastermind of the attack, have passed away while four, who were declared absconders by the court on September 17, 1990 are yet to be arrested. But, the case went quiet.

Several people believe that the case went inactive because Yasin Malik enjoyed privilege and power for so many years at the expense of the Indian establishment.
