Kashmiri Pandit killing: Satish Tikoo's family files fresh plea against Bitta Karate at Srinagar Sessions Court

Earlier on April 16, a session court postponed the hearing of the case against terrorist Farooq Ahmed Dar alias Bitta Karate, accused of killing many Kashmiri Pandits during the 1990s. 

Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir): The family of Satish Tickoo, who was allegedly murdered by terrorist Bitta Karate, filed a new application to place on record Bitta Karate`s shocking video confession that the first Kashmiri Pandit he murdered was Tickoo. 

The application was filed through advocate Utsav Bains and supported by activist Vikas Raina. The application, along with video footage and transcript, will be heard tomorrow at Srinagar Sessions Court. 

Earlier on April 16, a session court postponed the hearing of the case against terrorist Farooq Ahmed Dar alias Bitta Karate, accused of killing many Kashmiri Pandits during the 1990s. The court is expected to hear the case on May 10.

Nearly after 31 years of the massacre, the trial proceedings of the case began following the petition filed by the relatives of Satish Tikku, one of the first victims of terrorism in the Kashmir Valley. The first hearing of the petition seeking reopening of the case was held on March 30, which was allegedly disrupted by Bitta Karate`s lawyer. 

Following this, the court adjourned the hearing till April 16. The next hearing of the case was to be heard on April 16. But due to the judge hearing the case being on leave, it has been deferred till May 10.
