NIA Court Acquits Two Pulwama Men in 2021 Srinagar Grenade Blast Case
A special NIA court in Kashmir acquitted two Pulwama men, Adil Farooq Bhat and Imran Nazir Najar, in connection with a 2021 grenade blast near security personnel in Srinagar. The court found insufficient evidence to prove their involvement beyond reasonable doubt and criticized significant lapses in the investigation, including missing forensic analysis and unexamined witnesses. The accused were ordered to be released immediately, subject to no other pending cases against them.
