A court has acquitted Chandan Kashyap in a 2021 attempted murder case, stating that the guilt was not established beyond a reasonable doubt.

The ruling emphasized that the circumstantial and ocular evidence presented was insufficient for a definitive conviction. Notably, the three eyewitnesses, including the injured victim, failed to identify Kashyap as the gunman.

Additional Sessions Judge Ravindra Kumar Pandey, who presided over the case, noted that the prosecution failed to present any solid incriminating evidence against the accused. The victim's testimony, along with the lack of support from the eyewitnesses, played a crucial role in the court's decision.
