SRINAGAR — A special Terrorist and Disruptive Activity (TADA) court on Monday framed charges against the banned Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik and four others in connection with the killing of four IAF personnel on January 25, 1990.

The charges were framed under Section 302, 307 RPC, Section 3(3) and Section 4(1) of TADA Act, 1987 and Section 7/27 of Arms Act 1959, Section 120-B of RPC.

Malik, however, denied the charges that were sent to him through an email in the morning. The case had come up for hearing today after the court had given a go-head for the framing of charges and prosecution of Malik last week. The next hearing has been scheduled for March 30.
