Translations:Lynching of Pehlu Khan/20/en
The 2019 acquittal drew wide criticism, with allegations of a miscarriage of justice.[1] According to The Wire, critics pointed to the police's failure to record the names from Khan's dying declaration in his sons' statements, inadequate cross-examination of the accused's alibis, the dismissal of a confession one accused made to a television channel, and the court's refusal to admit the video footage.[1] The Rajasthan government under Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced an appeal.[2]
