The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Muzaffarnagar riots has begun probe into the cases of 10 missing persons, who were considered to have been killed in Lisadh village. Of the 13 people reported missing from the village, 3 bodies have been recovered so far. Family members of the remaining ten have registered cases in this connection, SIT sources were reported as saying.
SIT has started investigating each case separately, after recording the statements of their families. SIT would also produce eye witnesses before the court for recording their statements, they said. The investigation started only after the family members approached the Supreme Court and it directed the state government to investigate the matter. District authorities have also recommended the missing cases to the government, for providing relief for the kith and the victims. However, the state government is yet to take a call on the proposal.
