| Kashmiri Pandit family moves court to reopen trial against Bitta Karate | | |
Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Mar 30: Thirty-one years after the killing of Kashmir Pandit Satish Tickoo, his family on Wednesday approached a Srinagar court to reopen the trial against Farooq Ahmed Dar, also known as Bitta Karate. Tickoo's family claims that Karate had confessed to his role in the killing in a video interview to BBC.
Karate is a former Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) commander and is lodged in Delhi's Tihar jail on charges of funneling funds from Pakistan into terror activities in the Kashmir.
Before his arrest in funneling funds, he had earlier been in jail for several years between November 1990 and 2006.
After the court proceedings today, Tickoo family lawyer Advocate Utsav Bains said the court heard the "matter positively."
"After 31 years the family has come to the trial court and there is a ray of hope now for the family," he said. |
