The Jaipur Session Court has acquitted student leader and politician Naresh Meena in the 2011 Rajasthan University shooting case, ending a 15‑year legal saga.
The Jaipur Session Court on Tuesday acquitted Naresh Meena, a former student leader and politician, in the 2011 Rajasthan University shooting case. The verdict marks the conclusion of a legal battle that has spanned more than a decade.
The incident, which took place on the university campus in 2011, resulted in several injuries and sparked widespread protests. Meena was charged with involvement in the shooting, but the court found the evidence presented by the prosecution insufficient to secure a conviction.
In its judgment, the court highlighted gaps in the investigative process and the lack of corroborative evidence linking Meena directly to the act. The acquittal was delivered after a thorough review of the case files and witness statements.
The decision is expected to have significant implications for the political landscape in Rajasthan, as Meena had been a prominent figure in student politics and local governance. The ruling also underscores the importance of robust evidence in criminal proceedings.
