A poet, a freedom activist, a killing: 34 years on, Kashmiri Pandit family awaits justice
On April 30, 1990, Kashmiri Pandit poet Sarwanand Koul, known as "Premi," was abducted and killed along with his 27-year-old son Virender. The family, already traumatized, decided to leave their home in Kokernag, Anantnag, and live in a single room at the Jammu MLA Hostel under police escort. Rajinder Koul, Sarwanand's older son, has been fighting a legal battle for justice for his father and brother.
Despite numerous promises of compensation and a CBI inquiry, no action has been taken. The family's plight remains unresolved, with the Kouls still waiting for justice and closure.
