Court Clears Two in 2010 Noida Police Shooting Case
Years ago, two men were arrested for allegedly shooting at police officers.
However, after a long trial, the court has said they are not guilty.
The court found that the police officers' stories about what happened didn't match up and that there wasn't enough proof that the men had fired at the police or had weapons.
The court stated the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, so the men have been set free.
Additional Sessions Court acquitted two men accused of firing at police in 2010.
The court cited contradictory statements from police officers as a reason for the acquittal.
The case involved charges of attempted murder and illegal firearm possession.
The incident allegedly occurred during a vehicle-checking drive in Surajpur, Noida.
The court questioned the lack of forensic and ballistic reports related to the case.
