4 on death row for CRPF terror attack acquitted, victim’s kin slam verdict; court cites prosecution’s failure to prove culpability in crime

Allahabad High Court acquitted four men, including two Pakistani nationals, of terrorism charges in a 2007 attack that killed eight CRPF personnel. The court cited prosecution's failure to prove culpability beyond reasonable doubt, instead convicting them under the Arms Act and sentencing them to 10 years rigorous imprisonment. Families of victims expressed anger and disbelief at the verdict.
