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.

“Squadron leader Ravi Khanna's blood is following him. He will not be spared even in that case…'Blood for Blood, Death for Death'. I am waiting …We will also get justice,” news agency ANI quoted her as saying.
In March, Nirmal Khanna had approached the court seeking removal or amendment of scenes in ‘The Kashmir Files' depicting her husband claiming it was contrary to facts. A court in Jammu and Kashmir then restrained the promoters of the film from showing scenes depicting the squadron leader in the movie.
