Delhi Riots: Court Acquits Father-Son Duo Accused Of Setting Ablaze Fatima Masjid, Nearby Houses

A Delhi court acquitted a father-son duo accused of setting ablaze the Fatima Masjid and nearby houses during the Delhi riots.

The court noted discrepancies in the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses and the lack of concrete evidence linking the accused to the crime.
