Bombay HC acquits 12 in Mumbai train blasts case
The Bombay High Court has just overturned the convictions of 12 people linked to the 2006 Mumbai train blasts—a tragedy that took 189 lives.
This big decision came after former judge S Muralidhar, now representing two of the accused, highlighted serious flaws and bias in how the case was investigated.
