J&K HC issues notice in PIL for CBI/ NIA probe into death of Kashmiri Pandit Sarpanch, Ajay Pandita

The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has issued notice in a PIL moved for a CBI or an NIA probe into the killing of Ajay Pandita, a Kashmiri Pandit who was the Sarpanch of Lukbawan village (Ramesh Kumar Pandita v. UOI and ors).

The petitioner, Ramesh Kumar Pandita has contended that the investigation into the case should be taken up by a Central investigative agency on allegations that the J&K police have shown that they are apathetic to the safety of the Kashmiri Pandit community and are likely to botch up the investigation.
