Eyewitness identified Yasin Malik as Main Shooter in 1990 Attack on Airforce Men

 

An eyewitness before the special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)court on Thursday, identified Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Yasin Malik as the primary gunman who fired at Four Indian Air Force soldiers and killed them in Srinagar in 1990.

 

I was among the IAF personnel waiting for their bus to get to office,” he said, narrating the incident that took place on January 25, 1990. IAF officer Ravi Khanna and three others were killed, while 22 were injured in a shootout carried out by Yasin Malik on January 25, 1990, in Rawalpora on the outskirts of Srinagar. Rajwar Umeshwar Singh was among the injured.

 

Rajwar Umeshwar Singh, a former IAF employee, identified Malik as the main shooter when he was produced before a special CBI court virtually from Delhi's Tihar Jail.

 

The TADA court had framed charges against Malik and six others in the case in March 2020, around 30 years after a chargesheet was filed against them on August 31, 1990. Malik is currently serving a life sentence in a terror funding case, and has been lodged in Tihar Jail since 2019.
