<h1>Three accused, including senior Indian Railways officer, acquitted in 2014 CBI corruption case due to weak evidence</h1> A Delhi court acquitted three accused, including a senior Indian Railways and Traffic Service officer, in a 2014 CBI corruption case, finding the prosecution failed to prove criminal conspiracy or foundational facts. The court noted absence of requisite sanction for prosecution, investigative infirmities, preservation issues with case property, and that an unsealed CD relied on for intercepted calls contained unexplained interpolations and alterations. Evidence was presented piecemeal and did not establish the circumstantial chain; testimony from railway officials showed no irregularity in coach allotment. The accused were acquitted as guilt was not proved beyond reasonable doubt.
