Delhi Court acquits 5 alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba (#LeT) members in a terror conspiracy case for lack of evidence.
CBI had arrested Mohd. Shahid, Mohd. Rashid, Ashabuddin, Abdul Subhan and Arshad Khan @ Masab on apprehension that in connivance with a #Pakistani man, they were planning to kidnap a rich businessman for ransom in order to finance #terrorist activities.
Subhan and his nephew Ashabuddin had been earlier convicted in a case wherein they were arrested in 2001 while carrying a consignment of RDX, AK56 rifles and other arms in Santhalpur, Gujarat.
Subhan had come out of jail in 2010 before getting arrested in this case in 2013.
Noting that though available call records revealed that there were talks between Indian citizens and a person using a #Pakistani mobile number, Court said that the prosecution had failed to conclusively prove that the Pakistani number belonged to alleged terrorist Javed Balluchi.
Further stressing that the intercepted calls only indicated general conversations, Court said that these were not sufficient to presume that Javed Balluchi actually existed or accused persons were involved in any conspiracy to commit any terrorist act or kidnap any rich man.
Court stated that mere recovery of cellphones, SIM cards used for communication with Pakistani number is not sufficient to prove a terror plot or conspiracy when there is no other evidence to prove such a terror link. @ISalilTiwari @SukritiMishra12 reports

BREAKING: Jagadguru Paramhans Acharya moves Allahabad High Court after denial of entry to #Tajmahal.
The Acharya and his pupil were denied entry to the monument twice owing to their Dharmdand and Bhagwa Vastra. Image
The Jagadguru has argued that in the Hindu religion Jagatguru has the authority to take Dharmdand and wear Bhagwa Vastra and they are allowed 'to go anywhere in India' without any permission and they also can travel by any mode of transport.
His petition states, "Now petitioners have doubt that there is some mystery in the #Tajmahal and they have suspicion that there were some ancient Hindu temples (there)...Therefore, the matter needs proper investigation."
