Why were Bhagwanpuria and Rana acquitted?
According to Hindustan Times, the defence argued that no weapon had been recovered from either man and that the case against them relied mainly on a co-accused’s statement. The newspaper reports that the court found their direct involvement in the supply had not been proved and acquitted them. This is a report of the court’s outcome, not a quotation from the judgment; the detailed judicial reasoning cannot be confirmed without the order. Hindustan Times report on the case background.
What were the police allegations?
The case was registered at Balongi police station on 18 October 2023, the report says. Police alleged that weapons and ammunition had been brought from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, for supply to gangsters and associates in Punjab. The report describes a police naka near a bridge on the road connecting Balongi and Mohali Industrial Area, where the accused were allegedly found with weapons and ammunition.
Those details concern the police allegations reported in connection with the FIR; they should not be treated as findings against the two men who were acquitted.
