Two Baramulla men acquitted after six years in UAPA case

Two Baramulla men acquitted after six years in UAPA case

A special court found the police account of a 2020 vehicle-check recovery of grenades and ammunition too contradictory to support a conviction.

A UAPA special court acquitted Huzaif Firdous Bhat and Ajaz Ahmad Bhat, arrested in September 2020.

Police witnesses gave conflicting accounts of who searched the vehicle, how many rounds were found and which group's posters were seized.

The court said nothing linked either man to any terrorist, terrorist act or organisation.
