Mumbai Court Acquits Chhota Rajan, 3 Others In 2009 Double Murder Case

Chhota Rajan, however, will not walk out of prison as he is facing trials in several other cases. He has been convicted in the journalist J Dey murder case.

A special CBI court in Mumbai today acquitted gangster Chhota Rajan and three others in a 2009 double murder case.

Special judge AM Patil acquitted them for lack of evidence, holding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond "reasonable doubt".

It also could not prove the conspiracy connected to Chhota Rajan, the judge added.

The others who were acquitted are Mohmmad Ali Sheikh, Umaid Shaikh and Pranay Rane.
