Indian Courts Acquit Two Murder Convicts Citing Insufficient Evidence
Two Indian courts recently acquitted individuals convicted of murder due to insufficient or unreliable evidence. The Meghalaya High Court acquitted Jenorin D Sangma, who was serving a life sentence for her husband's 2015 murder, citing lack of proof beyond reasonable doubt. Separately, the Supreme Court acquitted Arjun Jani, who spent 22 years in jail for a 2004 triple murder, criticizing earlier courts for procedural lapses and inadequate evidence assessment. Both rulings highlight challenges in ensuring justice for marginalized individuals.
