New Delhi/Jammu: A court on Monday charged Yasin Malik, chief of banned terror outfit Jammu & Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) and six others involved in the killing of four unarmed Indian Air Force officers in Kashmir in 1990.

The charges were framed under section 302, 307 RPC, section3 (3) and section 4(1) of the TADA Act, 1987 and section 7/27 of Arms Act 1959, section 120-B of RPC.

Malik and his aide Showkat Bakshi lodged in Tihar and Ambedkar Nagar jails respectively appeared via video-conferencing, sources said.

All the accused pleaded not guilty and sought trial. The case will be listed on March 30, sources said.

On Saturday, the Terrorists and Disruptive Activities Act (TADA) court had said that there was enough prima-facie evidence for prosecuting Malik for involvement in the killing of the IAF officials. (IANS)
