Chirag Chauhan, a survivor of the 2006 Mumbai train bombings, expressed profound disappointment following the acquittal of all 12 accused by the Bombay High Court. The court's decision has sparked outrage among survivors and victims' families, as nearly two decades after the tragedy, questions about justice linger.

Despite the traumatic experience, Chauhan, who is now confined to a wheelchair, has managed a successful career as a Chartered Accountant. However, the High Court ruling, which found the prosecution's evidence lacking credibility, has revived memories of that fateful day.

Critics, including Chauhan, argue that the investigation by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad fell short, with confessions deemed inadmissible due to alleged torture. The case points to broader systemic issues within India's judicial system regarding terrorism-related prosecutions.
