A court allows the withdrawal of a case against 25 BJP leaders and Hindu activists connected to the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots, according to reports. The accused were facing trial over allegations tied to actions during the period around a communal gathering.
The charges reported across outlets include alleged violation of prohibitory orders, obstruction of public servants in the discharge of their duties, and allegedly inciting communal tension through speeches made at a mahapanchayat held at Nagla Mador. While both sources describe the same set of accused and the core allegations, they do not provide additional, distinct details in the excerpts provided about the court’s reasoning, the procedural stage of the trial, or whether the withdrawal affects other related cases.
Overall, the reported development is a court decision permitting the case’s withdrawal, ending the prosecution against these 25 individuals in the matter described.
