Supreme Court: Refusing to hear plea for SIT probe into the massacre of Kashmiri Pandits, Taplu withdraws application

The Supreme Court today refused to hear a plea seeking an SIT probe into the 1989 massacre of Kashmiri Pandits. The petition was filed by Ashutosh Taplu, son of Tika Lal Taplu, who was killed in the massacre. On the advice of the Supreme Court, he withdrew this petition.

The top court asked Taplu to make this demand at an appropriate forum. Tika Lal Taplu was brutally murdered by JKLF terrorists during the massacre in Kashmir. It was said in the petition that 32 years have passed, and the family does not even know what kind of investigation was done in the matter. The family was not even given a copy of the FIR.

The petitioner also referred to the SIT set up by the Supreme Court to investigate three decades after the 1984 Sikh massacre and sought an SIT probe into the murder of Taplu. The court said that we have earlier dismissed a similar petition. Can't hear it now.
