Kashmiri separatist Aasiya Andrabi, chief of the banned Dukhtaran-e-Millat, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a India — National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in New Delhi. Her associates, Sofi Fehmida and Nahida Nasreen, received 30-year jail terms. The convictions, made on January 14, 2026, were for terror conspiracy, waging war against India, promoting enmity, and supporting a terrorist organization under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and Indian Penal Code (IPC). The NIA had accused the trio of using various media platforms, including those in Pakistan, to spread anti-India propaganda and incite armed rebellion in Kashmir. The court also imposed significant fines on the convicts. This sentencing marks a conclusion to a high-profile counter-terrorism trial that began with Andrabi's arrest in 2018.
