The Maharashtra government has taken a big decision regarding the Mumbai local train blast case. The Maharashtra government will challenge the Bombay High Court’s decision to acquit the accused in the local train bomb blast in the Supreme Court. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has announced this. Fadnavis said that the decision given by the Bombay High Court is shocking for us, we will challenge it in the Supreme Court.

In fact, in this case, the Bombay High Court overturned the lower court’s decisions after 19 years and acquitted all 12 people, declaring them innocent. There was a blast in the Mumbai local train in 2006. 189 people died in this attack while more than 800 people were injured.

In fact, in the year 2015, the Special Court convicted a total of 12 accused, out of which 5 were sentenced to death and 7 to life imprisonment. But now the High Court in its decision acquitted all those accused and released them. One of the 12 convicted accused died in jail in 2022 due to Covid.

What did the Bombay High Court say?

The Bombay High Court said that the prosecution showed complete failure in proving the crime. Technical evidence like bombs, weapons, maps etc. were not properly presented on record by the prosecution. Alleged forced confessions were taken from the accused, which the court considered illegal. The High Court declared the lower court’s decision wrong.

What did Muslim leaders say on this decision?

On the Mumbai train blast verdict, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that 12 innocent Muslims were kept in jail for 18 years. During this time, someone’s father died and someone’s wife passed away. That too for a crime which they have not committed. Their golden life was wasted in jail. Owaisi said that in such cases where there is public anger, the police always have the same attitude. They first assume the culprit.

Maulana Arshad Madani has called the Mumbai train blast verdict historic. He said that the Bombay High Court has honourably acquitted 12 Muslim youths of the charges of terrorism after 19 years. The innocent have got justice, but justice is incomplete without punishing those who destroyed their lives.
