India: Man from minority community acquitted in arms case after 26 years

Muzaffarnagar, Nov 24 (PTI) Twenty-six years after a case was registered against a man under the Arms Act, a court here has acquitted him.

Chief Judicial Magistrate, Manoj Kumar Jatave, on Tuesday acquitted Salahuddin, saying the prosecution has failed to prove its case and provide any witness.
