The National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Lucknow has convicted 28 out of the 30 accused in the high-profile Chandan Gupta murder case. Chandan Gupta, also known as Abhishek Gupta, was shot during the Tiranga Yatra organized by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) as part of the Republic Day celebrations on January 26, 2018, in Kasganj district. 
The case gained significant attention after Chandan's death fueled widespread riots in the region, escalating communal tensions. The NIA court acquitted two individuals, Nasiruddin and Asim Qureshi, due to insufficient evidence.
On the day of the incident, Chandan and his brother Vivek participated in the Tiranga Yatra. When the procession reached the Government Girls Inter College gate, a group of individuals, including Salim, Wasim, and Naseem, allegedly blocked the road, halting the procession. Tensions rose when Chandan objected, leading to stone-pelting. Salim, one of the main accused, shot Chandan, gravely injuring him. Despite being rushed to the Kasganj police station and later to the district hospital, Chandan was declared dead.
Chandan's murder sparked riots in Kasganj for three days, leading to severe communal unrest. His father, Sushil Gupta, filed a murder complaint, prompting legal action. In 2019, the Kasganj Sessions Court framed charges against 23 individuals, and later, an additional seven were also charged. The accused faced various charges, including rioting, attempted murder, and insulting the national flag, as well as violations under the Arms Act for carrying firearms.
The trial was moved to a Lucknow court after the initial proceedings in Kasganj. On Thursday, after the verdict, Chandan&rsquo;s parents expressed faith in the judicial process but voiced frustration with unmet promises made by political leaders. Sushil Gupta pointed out that BJP leaders had failed to deliver on promises such as the construction of a memorial square for Chandan and providing a government job to a family member.
Out of the 28 convicted individuals, 26 appeared in court, while Munajir Rafi joined via video conferencing from jail. An arrest warrant was issued for Salim, who was absent from the proceedings. The convicted individuals were taken into judicial custody and sent to jail. Several of them, including Salim, Wasim, Naseem, Mohsin, Rahat, Bablu, and Salman, were also convicted under the Arms Act for carrying weapons during the incident.
The prosecution presented 18 witnesses, while the defense called 23 witnesses during the trial.

India hit back at a group of Islamic nations after it criticised the court judgment against Kashmiri terrorist Yasin Malik. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC, called the conviction and life imprisonment of Malik "illegal", and the charges "concocted".
This, despite the fact that Malik pleaded guilty to the charges during the trial in an NIA court. The Indian government called the OIC's Human Rights Commission's comments "unacceptable".
The Indian foreign ministry said, "India finds unacceptable the comments made by OIC-IPHRC today criticising India for the judgement in the case of Yasin Malik. Through these comments, OIC-IPHRC has implicitly expressed support for the terrorist activities of Yasin Malik, which were documented and presented in the Court. The world seeks zero tolerance of terrorism and we urge OIC not to justify it any manner."
On May 25, Yasin Malik was sentenced to life in prison in a terror funding case.The National Investigation Agency, which probed the case, had sought the death sentence.

On May 25, Yasin Malik was sentenced to life in prison in a terror funding case. The National Investigation Agency, which probed the case, had sought the death sentence.

The NIA on Wednesday sought the death penalty for convicted Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik, who had earlier pleaded guilty of all charges, including those under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, in a terror funding case, court sources said.
The agency made the submission before special judge Praveen Singh, while the amicus curiae appointed by the court to assist Malik sought life imprisonment, the minimum punishment in the matter.
Malik, meanwhile, told the judge that he was leaving it to the court to decide the quantum of punishment.
After hearing the arguments, the court reserved its order and is likely to pronounce it later in the day.
The court had on May 19 convicted Malik and had directed NIA authorities to assess his financial situation to determine the amount of fine likely to be imposed.
Malik had on May 10 told the court that he was not contesting the charges levelled against him that included section 16 (terrorist act), 17 (raising funds for terrorist act), 18 (conspiracy to commit terrorist act) and 20 (being member of terrorist gang or organisation) of the UAPA and sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 124-A (sedition) of the IPC.
The court had, meanwhile, formally framed the charges against Kashmiri separatist leaders, including Farooq Ahmed Dar alias Bitta Karate, Shabbir Shah, Masarat Alam, Md Yusuf Shah, Aftab Ahmad Shah, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Khan, Md Akbar Khanday, Raja Mehrajuddin Kalwal, Bashir Ahmad Bhat, Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali, Shabir Ahmad Shah, Abdul Rashid Sheikh and Naval Kishore Kapoor.
The charge sheet was also filed against Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed and Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin, who have been declared proclaimed offenders (PO) in the case.
