A court in Maharashtra's Thane district has acquitted two men in a 2002 train robbery case. The court, while passing the orders, noted that the prosecution had failed to examine even a single material witness over the past two decades.

In a judgement delivered on February 9, Additional Sessions Judge P R Ashturkar held that there was "absolutely nothing on record" to indicate the involvement of the accused, Shaikh Babu, alias Chhota Babu Shaikh Pyare, and Shaikh Ayub Shaikh Yusuf, reported PTI.
