12 Years in jail later Acquitted:Delhi Blasts(2005)

After 12 years in prison over blasts in Delhi that killed 67 people just before Diwali in 2005 Acquitted 34-year-old Mohammad Rafiq Shah. He is among the three men who were freed for lack of evidence. A third accused, Tariq Ahmed Dar, was convicted, not for his involvement in the bombings but for his links with a banned group.The judge in his judgement said that “there was no link to establish that the accused were part of any conspiracy related to the blast(s)

Since he was a student of Islamic studies, whole India called him a terrorist and even Indian Muslims were saying that he may be behind the attack.

Now after 12 years, he is released from jail and court gives the judgment of his innocence

The verdict of Delhi court will indeed go a long way in reinstating citizens’ faith in India’s judicial system, but the judiciary must also spell out punishment against the corrupt members of Delhi Police, who sought to draw a sadistic pleasure by causing utter ruins to the lives of two innocent individuals.
