Wahid Sheikh of Mumbai suffered imprisonment for nine years for a crime he did not commit. A trial court acquitted him in 2015 when it found there was no evidence against him in the deadly 2006 Mumbai serial train blasts, in which 189 people died and over 800 were injured. Ten years after Wahid Sheikh was discharged from jail, 12 other persons who were convicted for their alleged role in the same case were set free by the Bombay High Court which ruled that “the prosecution has utterly failed to prove the case against the accused. It is hard to believe that the accused committed the crime. Hence, their conviction is quashed and set aside”.
