Tihar Jail administration suspends four officers in Yasin Malik case including one Deputy Superintendent, and two Assistant Superintendents: Prison officials
On Friday, Malik walked into the court room after being escorted by armed security personnel without the court’s permission. Voicing surprise at his presence, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told a bench of Justices Surya Kant and Dipankar Datta that there was a procedure for high-risk convicts to be allowed into the courtroom to argue their case personally. The bench further said that it had not granted him permission or passed any order allowing him to argue his case in person.
