When communal riots occurred in May 1987 in Meerut, U.P. the Provincial Armed Constabulary ( P.A.C.) rounded up 40-45 Muslim youth in mohalla Hashimpur, took them on trucks to a remote place, shot them in cold blood, and dumped their bodies in water canals
16 P.A.C. constables were chargesheeted, but recording of evidence began only in July 2006, that is, more than 19 years after the incident. On 21.3.2015 all the accused, except those who had already died, were acquitted.
Long live the Indian judiciary !
