An Indian court acquitted on Monday 12 men previously sentenced for a series of explosions of bombs that torn suburban trains packaged in Mumbai in 2006 which killed 187 people.
The men were found guilty in 2015 of murder, conspiracy and war against the country for attacks during the evening time at the evening of July 11, 2006 which also injured more than 800 people.
Five were sentenced to death, while the other seven received a perpetuity imprisonment.
But, 10 years later, the High Court of Bombay canceled the verdict of a lower court and acquitted the 12 men.
Judges Anil Kilor and Shyam Chandak declared in their judgment, the accusation had “completely failed to establish the offense beyond any reasonable doubt against the accused at each chief”.
The men were ordered to be released from prison “if they are not required to be detained in any other case”.
The accusation may appeal to the ordinance of the Supreme Court.

In total, seven explosions torn the trains after the bombs, wrapped in self -employers, were placed in bags and hidden under the newspapers and parasols.
Prosecutors said the aircraft had been gathered in Mumbai and deliberately placed in first class coaches to target the rich Gujarati community of the city.
They said that the bomb attacks were intended to take revenge on the riots of the Western state of Gujarat in 2002, which left some 2,000 dead, most of them Muslims.
The prosecutors accused the militant group based in Pakistan, Lashkar-E-Taiba, of being behind the attacks, although a little-known outfit called Lashkar-E-Qahhar then claimed responsibility.
Pakistan denied allegations.
