Gujarat High Court Suspends Sentence of Woman Convicted in Acid Attack Case
The Gujarat High Court has suspended the 10-year sentence of Mahezbinbanu Chhuvara, convicted in July for an acid attack on bus conductor Rakesh Brahmbhatt in Ahmedabad. The court noted gaps in the prosecution's evidence, including unclear identification, lack of seized clothing, and inconclusive CCTV footage. The attack occurred in January 2024, allegedly motivated by jealousy after Brahmbhatt ended their relationship. The sentence suspension is interim, pending the appeal's final hearing.
