**Bhopal District and Sessions Court Acquits Trio in Attempt to Murder Case**
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Bhopal District and Sessions Court has acquitted Pappu Chatka, Shahrukh alias Devil, and Vicky (also known as Wahid) in an attempt to murder case, giving them the benefit of the doubt. The court passed the order on Thursday.
The case involved an attack on Shahid, a close aide of Zuber Maulana, who suffered 27 stab wounds during the incident. ADJ Manoj Singh delivered the judgment.
The incident took place on the night of November 6, 2023, at around 11 pm near Pital Mandir. The trio, known as notorious criminals in the city, had allegedly approached Shahid to settle an old dispute. Shahid had arrived with eight aides on four motorcycles.
According to the reports, Pappu Chatka opened fire to drive away Shahid’s henchmen. After two rounds were fired, five of Shahid’s companions fled the scene. However, Shahid and one of his associates were caught.
Shahid was brutally attacked with a knife and sustained 27 stab wounds, including injuries to the veins of his arms and legs. Additionally, Wahid reportedly attempted to run them over with his car.
Shahid, who resides in Karim Baksh Colony, had a longstanding enmity with Shahrukh alias Devil over a girl.
“The prosecution failed to establish the charges before the court, which acquitted the trio on the benefit of doubt,” said advocate Jagdish Gupta, representing the accused.
