Delhi High Court Seeks NIA Response on Aasiya Andrabi's Terrorism Conviction Appeals
The Delhi High Court on August 3, 2026, sought the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) response to appeals filed by Kashmiri separatist leader Aasiya Andrabi and two associates challenging their convictions for running a terrorist organization. Andrabi, founder of the banned Dukhtaran-e-Millat, was sentenced to life imprisonment, while her associates received 30-year terms. The appeals, filed after the trial court's January conviction and March sentencing, allege wrongful conviction under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The court scheduled further hearings for late September and October.
