Muslim Unity Platform Protest: 9 Years Later, 19 Acquitted in Mob Lynching and Child Abduction Case

In 2017, Muslim Unity Forum held protests against mob lynching and child theft incidents. Police filed FIRs against 400-500 people, accusing them of rioting, stone-pelting, and damaging a police station. Over 100 were jailed. After nine years, in 2026, Jamshedpur Civil Court acquitted all 19 named accused in the Mango police station case. The prosecution failed to gather sufficient evidence despite police testimonies. Advocate Zahid Iqbal stated police negligence caused innocent people economic and mental suffering. He demanded action against responsible officers and compensation for victims. The verdict raises questions about accountability for nine lost years.
