Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahesh R. Natu held that the crime branch failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and acquitted Irfan Sayed, Najeeb Bakkali, Firoz Ghaswala, Mohammed Ali Cheepa and Imran Ansari.

Unit 11 of detection crime branch in Mumbai had arrested all these accused after a police officer had received a tip off that Irfan was a member of SIMI and he was indulging in anti-social activities. The police kept a watch for sometime and arrested these five persons.

On the other hand, defence lawyers Ishrat Ali Khan, Tahwar Khan Pathan, Jamal Khan, Styaram Gaud and Aftab Qureshi claimed that the police falsely implicated the accused and allegedly planted articles that were shown to have been seized from the accused.

After hearing both the sides the court acquitted all the five accused.

Only when you arrest it is 24*7 news..why not now....What type of compensation govt will provide...Can they return their lost life and embarassement they and their family had faced because of 24*7 masala media ....where are they hiding now

It's not a big news when the court acquits innocent Muslims, But, Big news, Headlines, News flash etc., when innocent Muslims are framed as terrorists.

Bengaluru, Jul 5: In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and the fear of layoffs lurking everywhere, the state government is holding a first-of-its-kind virtual job fair on July 10, to help people find jobs commensurate with their skill sets.

Co-ordinated by the Karnataka Skill Development Corporation (KSDC), the job fair will see participation of more than 40 companies for about 6,000 job openings.
