Jammu, May 19 Nirmal Khanna, the wife of the late Indian Air Force (IAF) squadron leader Ravi Khanna who was allegedly killed by Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik, on Thursday said that she is still waiting for justice. Khanna was one of the four IAF personnel shot dead in Srinagar on January 25, 1990, allegedly by a group led by Malik, the chief of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). The slain IAF leader’s wife said she believes in “blood for blood, death for death”. Nirmal said Malik would not be spared from being convicted in her husband’s case as “Ravi Khanna's blood is following him”. Malik was convicted by a Delhi court in a terror funding case earlier in the day. Malik had earlier pleaded guilty to all charges, including those under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), in the terror funding case.
