1998 massacre of 23 Kashmiri Pandits to be probed again
J&K SIA reopens 1998 Wandhama massacre case, revisiting the killings of 23 Kashmiri Hindus amid efforts to probe targeted violence.
The Jammu & Kashmir’s State Investigation Agency (SIA) has reopened the Wandhama massacre case, 28 years after the terrorist attack in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal that killed 23 Kashmiri Hindus. This move is part of a broader effort to investigate long-pending cases of targeted killings during the height of militancy in the valley, with several high-profile cases being reopened since the abrogation of Article 370.
The SIA began investigating the Sarwananad Premi Koul, Tika Lal Taploo, and 1998 Wandhama massacre, in which 23 Kashmiri Pandits were killed, as part of this broader push. The agency also conducted raids across Jammu & Kashmir in connection with these cases.
