Claim

Yasin Malik was involved in the rape and murder of Sarla Bhat.

“the terrorist Yasin Malik, his friend, who was involved in the rape and murder of Sarla Vhat”

Rationale

Central assertion — Yasin Malik's involvement in the rape and murder of Kashmiri Pandit nurse Sarla Bhat — is supported by the J&K SIA chargesheet formally naming him among the accused. Caveat: this is an accusation/pending trial, not a conviction, but the stated involvement has clear documented official basis and no sub-detail is contradicted.
