Samjhauta express blast: A total of 43 Pakistan citizens were killed in the terrorist attack.“All the four accused, Naba Kumar Sarkar alias Swami Aseemanand, Lokesh Sharma, Kamal Chauhan and Rajinder Chaudhary have been acquitted by the court,” NIA counsel Rajan Malhotra had said.
Twelve years after a blast on the Samjhauta Express killed 68 people, mostly Pakistanis, a special court in Panchkula Wednesday acquitted Swami Aseemanand and three others in the case.
