The verdict came 19 years after the attack
The Bombay High Court on Monday acquitted all 12 accused in the case of seven bomb blasts in several trains in Mumbai on July 11, 2006, saying that the prosecution had completely failed to prove the case against them and it was difficult to believe that the accused had committed the crime. The verdict came 19 years after the terrorist attack that shook the city’s western railway network. More than 180 people lost their lives and many others were injured in this attack.
