Bhadohi, Aug 28: A local court today acquitted a Samajwadi Party MLA in connection with the murder of a former BJP MLA's brother for lack of evidence.
Additional Judge (second) Vinod Kumar Srivastav, while acquitting the accused Vijay Mishra and another person in the case, observed that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the accused beyond all reasonable doubt.
According to the prosecution, Mishra and some others had shot dead Gorakh Nath Pandey's brother during campaigning in last year's assembly elections at Gopiganj in the district. Bureau Report
