On July 24, the Rajasthan High Court acquitted six people after the prosecution failed to establish their connection with the main accused in a bus bomb blast that happened on May 22, 1996. The six accused were set free after 23 years.
The first thing that Mohammad Ali Bhatt, a resident of Srinagar who was among those acquitted, did was to visit the graves of his parents.
