The killing of Ganjoo on November 4, 1989 accelerated the chain of events that led to the mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in early 1990 leaving behind wounds that are yet to be healed, widening the Hindu-Muslim chasm in J&K, and contributing to communal polarisation across India.
The J&K Police State Investigative Agency (SIA) on Monday sought information from the general public to reinvestigate the case, asking them “to come forward and share any account of events which has direct or indirect bearing on the investigation”.
