    THEEIGHTHCOLUMN

    Why in Kashmir, chargesheet in Sarla Bhat case, has reignited questions over Pandit rehabilitation

    Last month, J&K State Investigation Agency filed a chargesheet in the 1990 abduction, rape and murder case of nurse Sarla Bhat. Displaced Pandits who have returned to Kashmir in the past decade under PM employment schemes welcome the move as a step towards long-delayed justice. But claim their own struggle for permanent rehabilitation in the Valley they once called home is ongoing.
