The Rajasthan High Court on March 29, set aside the conviction and death sentence awarded by the trial court to four persons, identified as Mohammed Saif, Mohammed Sarwar Azmi, Saifur Rehman and Mohammed Salman, in the case of the serial blasts that had killed 71 people and left 200 injured in Jaipur in Rajasthan in May 2008, reports The Hindu. The court also upheld the acquittal of a fifth accused, identified as Shahbaz Ahmed, recorded by the trial court in 2019, and accepted the plea of one of the accused that he was a minor. In December 2019, a special court in Jaipur had awarded capital punishment to all the four accused after holding them guilty of planting the bombs and carrying out the explosions. The fifth accused charged with sending an e-mail claiming responsibility for the blasts, was acquitted for want of evidence. Acquitting all the accused, a Division Bench of the High Court held that the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Rajasthan Police had failed to prove any aspect of the evidence and there was no basis to establish its theory of conspiracy, in which the accused were sought to be implicated. The court also stated that some of the evidence produced against the accused also appeared to be fabricated. The Bench, comprising Justices Pankaj Bhandari and Sameer Jain, passed strictures against the Police and gave directions for initiating an inquiry against the investigating officers. The court said that since the statements made by the accused to the Police officers were inadmissible as evidence, they could not form the basis for their conviction.
