    Yasin Malik to Spend Life 'All Alone' in Jail, Won't be Given Any Work: Reports

    According to his jail conduct report, Yasin Malik's behaviour inside the jail was satisfactory, so he has not received any penalty.

    Digital Desk: Yasin Malik, who was sentenced to life imprisonment on Wednesday by a special NIA court in Delhi, will now spend the rest of his life 'all alone' in prison.

    The Kashmiri separatist has been detained at Tihar jail's cell number 7. Separated from the outside world, he has been kept alone inside the prison, apart from over 13,000 other inmates.

    Sandeep Goyal, the Director-General (Prisons), stated that Yasin Malik is alone in his cell. Goyal said, "He is already in jail No. 7 and will continue there presently."

    Malik told the court during the previous session that he was not contesting the charges levelled against him. He may not even be able to challenge the sentence because he pleaded guilty, which means Malik will almost certainly spend the rest of his life in prison.

    The word "rigorous imprisonment" refers to the detention of an offender in a way that, depending on the nature of the offense, makes the jail sentence more difficult by subjecting the offender to particular arrangements in the jail.

    However, despite court rules, Malik will not be assigned to any work inside the prison.

    "He will not be assigned any work at all due to security issues," a top prison official said, adding that labour is assigned based on security considerations and decisions are made according to jail rules.

    According to his jail conduct report, Yasin Malik's behaviour inside the jail was satisfactory, so he has not received any penalty.

    The sentence order read, "Regarding the convict's inclination towards reformation, it is submitted that during his incarceration, the behaviour of the convict towards co-inmates as well as jail administration has remained cordial and peaceful. The convict seems to be inclined towards reformation,"
