The Jammu and Kashmir State Investigation Agency (SIA) has reopened the probe into the 1998 Wandhama massacre, where 23 Kashmiri Pandits, including women and children, were killed. The renewed investigation aims to identify perpetrators, facilitators, and overground workers involved in the massacre and other unresolved terror killings from the period of insurgency. The gruesome tragedy occurred overnight on January 25, 1998, during Shab-e-Qadr, the holiest night of Ramadan, and on the eve of India's Republic Day. Nine women, nine men, and four children were among the fatalities. The SIA is also investigating other cases involving targeted killings of Kashmiri Hindus, including the assassination of Justice Neelkanth Ganjoo and well-known Kashmiri Pandit lawyer Tika Lal Taploo.
