“Benefit of Doubt”: Jaipur Court Acquits 8 in 37-Year-Old ‘SATI’ Glorification Case

A special court in Jaipur on Wednesday (Oct 9) acquitted eight accused in a 37-year-old case of glorification of Sati, and gave them “the benefit of doubt”, a lawyer said. The special court has acquitted 25 others in the case in 2004. Four accused are still absconding and some of them have died.
