A Jammu & Kashmir court on Wednesday heard a fresh plea submitted by the family of the murdered Kashmiri Pandit, Satish Tickoo, against Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) leader Farooq Ahmad Dar alias Bitta Karate.
The court, which has sought a progress report in the case, has scheduled the next hearing for April 16.
“It was the first hearing of the murder trial. The court hearing was very positive for the family. We apprised the court that it’s a serious matter. Tickoo was killed in cold blood by Karate. We are hopeful there will be justice. It has taken 31 years for the family to finally seek justice and a formal trial into the murder,” advocate Utsav Bains, representing the victim’s family, said.
