A local court in UP has acquitted six accused in a case related to communal riots in Muzaffarnagar in 2013. The court cited "lack of evidence" for the acquittal. The accused were charged with arson, robbery, and spreading religious hatred. An FIR was registered against eight people, two of whom died during the trial.
