Srinagar, Feb 6: A local court today acquitted two persons including son of a Srinagar businessman in the murder case of his father.
One of the accused included Zubair Nazir Mahajan, son of the businessman Nazir Ahmad Mahajar whose body was found near Income Tax Office Rajbagh in 2007. The other accused acquitted is Suhail Ahmad Bhat son of Mehraj-ud-Din Bhat of Rajouri Kadal, Srinagar and friend of Zubiar.
“I am of the opinion that prosecution case fails for want of cogent and clinching evidence against the accused persons and consequently prosecution has failed to prove the charges against the accused persons, resultantly the point for determination is decided in negative and the charge sheet against the accused persons is dismissed,” said 1st Additional Sessions Judge Srinagar, Naseer Ahmad Dar.
Accordingly, the court acquitted both the accused from the charges levelled against them under sections 302,120-B, 201, 468, 471, 420 RPC. “They are set at liberty if they are not required by the police or any other agency in any other case,” the court said.
