Bombay High Court Acquits All 12 Convicted in 2006 Mumbai Train Blasts

The Bombay High Court has acquitted all 12 individuals convicted for the 2006 Mumbai local train blasts, which killed 189 people. The ruling overturns a 2015 trial court verdict that had sentenced five to death and seven to life imprisonment. Citing a lack of conclusive evidence, the court stated the prosecution "utterly failed" to prove its case and granted the accused the benefit of doubt. After 19 years, the 12 men are set to be released.
