Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik, who was on a hunger strike in Tihar Jail in New Delhi, and was admitted to the RML hospital following a fluctuation in blood pressure is stable, PTI reported.
Malik has submitted a letter to the doctors at the medical facility, saying he did not want to be treated, they said.
“He was admitted to RML hospital on Tuesday after fluctuation in his BP levels,” a source said.
His condition was reported to be stable by evening and his vitals were being monitored, the sources said.
Yasin Malik has been sentenced by a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Delhi, late May 2022. He is serving two life sentences and varying jail terms, all running concurrently, under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Malik says that his case was not being investigated properly and hence he refused to eat on Friday and declared an indefinite hunger strike. Initially, the jail officials met with him and tried to convince him to end his hunger strike, but he refused. Since July 24, he was on intravenous fluid.
Hurriyat Conference headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Wednesday expressed serious concern over the health and safety of Malik.
Appearing before a special CBI judge through a video-conference on July 13, Malik had said he wanted to physically appear in the case related to the abduction of Rubaiya Sayeed, the daughter of the then Union home minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, in 1989.
