JAMMU, June 29: 2nd Additional Sessions Judge Jammu, Subash C Gupta today acquitted three heroine smugglers namely Ved Parkash, Tarsem Singh and Tarsem Lal as prosecution miserably failed to prove the case.
These accused persons were arrested on June 18, 2009 by Khour Police along with six kilograms of heroine.
After hearing both the sides, 2nd Additional Sessions Judge Jammu observed, “where there are contradictions in version of the official witnesses, corroboration from the independent witnesses is imperative in order to have just, fair and impartial justice.
