Murder Case Witness Attacked

A 46-year-old man who was a witness in the murder case of a Dalit man four years ago has died after allegedly being attacked by the accused's relatives last week, police said here on Friday.

A political slugfest has broken out between the Bharatiya Janata Party and Samajwadi Party over the public killing of a witness in a murder case last week.

More than two years after a mob was caught on camera beating dairy farmer Pehlu Khan to death, a court in Rajasthan has acquitted six of the men seen in a video of the attack that was one of the key evidences of the prosecution.

The acquittal of five men charged with the terror attack at Hyderabad's iconic Mecca Masjid has raised many questions about the inability of the probe agency to prove its case. One factor that may have contributed to the court's verdict could have something to do with the choice of witnesses who became hostile.

An eyewitness in a murder case was killed just three days after his security was withdrawn in the case.Rishipal, who was an eyewitness in the 2012 murder of brother of a municipality chairman, was shot dead by five men in Sisoli town in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar.

Ajay Katara, whose testimony helped in proving that the son and nephew of politician DP Yadav had murdered a young man dating their sister, was attacked near his home in the Delhi suburb of Sahibabad on Wednesday night.
