Recently, the state government of Jammu and Kashmir reopened 33 years old murder case of a Kashmiri Pandit judge, Justice Ganjoo who had sentenced Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) founder Maqbool Bhat to death, prompting BJP leaders and Right-wing ecosystem to claim that the Manoj Sinha-led administration was reinvestigating all Pandit-related militancy killings in Kashmir.

Earlier, Supreme Court rejected a petition filed by a Kashmiri Pandit group seeking investigation in this mattter.

Justice Gangoo was shot  dead by terrorists in November 1989 and was among the prominent Kashmiri Pandits to be targeted.

"In order to unearth the larger criminal conspiracy behind the murder of retired judge Neelkanth Ganjoo three decades ago, the SIA, through a communique, has appealed to all people familiar with facts or circumstances of this murder case to come forward and share any account of events, which has a direct or indirect bearing on the investigation of the instant case," an official spokesperson said in Srinagar on Monday.
