A day after the shocking appearnce of  Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik, in the Supreme Court, the Tihar administrator on Saturday suspended four officials.

The suspended officials include one deputy superintendent, two assistant superintendents and one head warden.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta on Friday flagged a "serious lapse" in the Supreme Court's security after Kashmiri separatist Yasin Malik showed up in court.

During the course of the hearing, the Solicitor General of India, Tushar Mehta assured the Bench that the administrative measures will be taken to ensure that he is not brought out of jail like this in future. Concerned, he added, “It is a heavy security issue”.

Further, he sought directions from the Bench to ensure that the act is not repeated in future. Justice Kant said that it might be difficult to pass any such order as Justice Datta was recused and asked the ASG to seek such relief before the Bench where the matter would be listed next.

Justice Kant suggested if at all required, Malik can address the Court through virtual mode. In this regard, the Solicitor General submitted, “We are ready, but he refused...Otherwise that is the simplest means.”

"It is my firm view that this is a serious security lapse. A person with a terrorist and secessionist background like Yasin Malik who is not only a convict in a terror funding case but has known connections with terror organisations in Pakistan could have escaped, could have been forcibly taken away or could have been killed," Mehta wrote.
