Bhubaneswar: A fast
track court in Orissa acquitted 18 people in two cases of rioting
in the Kandhamal district in 2008, a lawyer said Saturday.
While 10 people were booked for burning the house of Sramika Digal,
eight people were booked for torching John Nayak's house. Both the
incidents took place at Pipudidei village Aug 26.
Judge Sobhan Kumar Das delivered the verdict Friday in both the
cases at the district headquarters of Phulbani, some 200 km from
here, defence lawyer Ajit Patnaik told IANS.
"He acquitted all the accused persons as the charges levelled
against them could not be established," he said.
The tribal populated Kandhamal district witnessed widespread
communal violence after the murder of Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader
Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati and his four aides at his ashram Aug
23, 2008 allegedly by Maoists.
