Mumbai, June 11:

In a major setback to Mumbai Police, a special court today acquitted all the eight accused in a case related to a bomb blast inside a bus in 2002 that killed two people and injured many.

Delivering its verdict after over two years of the incident, the special Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) court acquitted all the accused, including the alleged mastermind Abdul Mateen, due to lack of sufficient evidence.
