Thane Courts Acquit Individuals in 2015 Attempted Murder and 2008 Dahi Handi Clash Cases
Two separate Thane court rulings acquitted individuals in cases involving violent incidents. In a 2015 attempt to murder and rioting case, two men were acquitted due to inconsistent witness statements and failure to identify attackers. In a 2008 clash during Dahi Handi festivities, 21 people were acquitted as the prosecution could not prove their involvement amid a large crowd. Both courts highlighted evidentiary gaps and challenges in identifying perpetrators.
