Justice Delayed, Justice Denied: Survivors React to 2006 Mumbai Train Blast Verdict

The acquittal of all 12 accused in the 2006 Mumbai train bomb blasts by the Bombay High Court has evoked strong reactions from survivors who have been waiting for justice. Nineteen years after the attack, which killed over 180 people, survivors express deep disappointment and a lingering sense of injustice.

Chirag Chauhan, a survivor, took to social media to express his dismay, stating that 'justice got killed' and 'the law of the land failed today.' Meanwhile, Mahendra Pitale questioned who the real culprits are, if not those who were tried and acquitted. The survivors continue to search for closure as they question the integrity of the investigation and the legal outcomes.

The court's decision was based on the prosecution's inability to provide conclusive evidence, with the high court highlighting that confessional statements were inadmissible due to alleged torture. The verdict has reignited calls for accountability and justice for the victims of this heinous attack.
