High Court Acquits Train Blast Accused: A Journey to Justice

Nineteen years after deadly train blasts in Mumbai, the Bombay High Court acquits all 12 accused, citing lack of credible evidence and prosecution failures. The judgments question the legality of confessions, raising concerns about the Anti-Terrorism Squad's investigation. The decision leaves survivors dismayed and challenges further legal actions.

Nineteen years after seven tragic train blasts in Mumbai claimed over 180 lives, the Bombay High Court has acquitted all 12 accused, citing a complete failure of the prosecution to establish their guilt.

This high-profile case, involving accusations against members of the banned SIMI group, collapsed as the court noted that confessions were deemed inadmissible due to alleged torture.

The acquittal challenges Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Squad's credibility and calls into question the investigative process, leaving survivors demanding true justice.
