Mumbai: Twelve years after the sensational killing of Sohrabuddin Shaikh, his associate Tulsiram Prajapati and rape-cum-murder of Kausar Bi, a Special CBI Court here Friday acquitted all 22 accused in the politically sensitive case, saying “witnesses and proofs were not satisfactory”. Witnesses and proofs submitted were not satisfactory to establish the alleged conspiracy and murder in the 2005 fake encounter killing, said Special CBI Judge SJ Sharma, who also observed that “the documentary and circumstantial evidence was not substantial”. The verdict came more than 12 years after the encounter killing of Sohrabuddin and his associate Prajapati, besides the rape-and-murder of Sohrab’s wife.
