JKLF chief Yasin Malik, lodged in Delhi’s Tihar jail, denies involvement in a Kashmiri Pandit murder case and says he is seeking the death penalty. He argues that the charges do not reflect a legitimate police investigation and instead read like a fabricated narrative.
Malik contends the case is built on allegations framed against him long after the events, saying it was constructed decades later to implicate him. Both outlets report that he challenges the basis and timing of the charges, presenting his defense as a denial of any role in the murders.
The two reports also note a further personal claim by Malik, in which he says he will divorce his wife from Pakistan. The focus across both sources remains on his rejection of the prosecution’s allegations and his request for the death penalty, with differences mainly in how additional statements are presented rather than on the core claims about the case.
