Opposition protest against Bihar voter list, wear onion garlands to support farmers
11:17 First raids are being conducted in the Kashmir genocide case, with the Special Investigating Agency (SIA) raiding eight locations in Srinagar, including the home of ex-JKLF chief Yasin Malik. This development comes 35 years after the murder of Kashmiri Pandit Sarla Bhatt in 1990, a case that has been reopened by the Lieutenant Governor. Sarla Bhatt, a nurse, was abducted, gang-raped, tortured, and brutally killed by terrorists belonging to the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front. The reopening of these cases follows the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, aiming to bring justice to the victims of killings of innocent Kashmiri people, including Kashmiri Pandits, in the 1990s. As one person stated, "It's very good news because though justice is coming late, but it's coming."
