Jammu and Kashmir Police Conduct Raids in 1990 Double Murder Case of Kashmiri Pandit Writer and Son
The Jammu and Kashmir State Investigation Agency (SIA) has intensified its probe into the 1990 abduction and murder of Kashmiri Pandit writer and social worker Sarwanand Koul Premi and his son Virender. After more than three decades, the SIA conducted raids at nine locations across Jammu and Kashmir, including Anantnag, Rajouri, and Jammu, targeting individuals and properties linked to the case. Premi, known for advocating communal harmony, and his son were abducted, tortured, and killed, with their bodies found hanging from a tree. The investigation aims to uncover new evidence and bring justice in this long-standing case amid renewed efforts to address militancy-era crimes against minority communities.
