MUZAFFARNAGAR: A Special MP/MLA court here on Tuesday acquitted UP minister Kapil Dev Aggarwal and seven other BJP leaders in a 2012 case related to the disruption of train service during a protest.

Aggarwal and the other accused – former MLAs Ashok Kansal and Umesh Malik, district BJP president Vijay Shukla; ex-district presidents Pawan Trar and Yashpal Pawar; Vabhav Tyagi and Sunil Tayal – were present in the court here when it pronounced its verdict.

Special judge Mayank Aggarwal acquitted them due to a lack of evidence.

According to prosecution officer Niraj Singh, police had registered a case under the Railway Act against 12 people, including Aggarwal, for disrupting train service at Muzaffarnagar railway station on September 3, 2012.

The accused were participating in a protest against the then Congress-led UPA government at the Centre.

The case against four other accused has already been decided by the court which had imposed a fine of Rs 500 each.
