An Indian court has acquitted 69 Hindus, including a former minister from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party , of the murder of 11 Muslims during communal riots in the western state of Gujarat in 2002.
“We have been saying from the first day that they were framed," defence lawyer Chetan Shah, who represented 82 of the accused, said. "Some of the accused were not present at the scene on the day of the incident." “Justice has eluded the victims once again. We will study the grounds on which the court has acquitted the accused persons," Pathan said.
