Cold-blooded killing of 23 Kashmiri Pandits is latest case to be reopened in J&K

The Jammu and Kashmir State Investigation Agency (SIA) has recommitted itself to investigating the Wandhama massacre that took place 28 years ago, resulting in the killing of 23 Kashmiri Hindus. SIA officials have emphasized the agency's commitment to re-examining these older cases and gathering new evidence to identify the perpetrators.

The Wandhama massacre occurred in January 1998, when a group of militants disguised as army personnel entered the Wandhama village in Ganderbal district, killing the victims before fleeing. The government has promised to bring these cases to a just conclusion, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable based on evidence and witness testimonies.
