Man died playing with gun in 2010, finds SC, acquits friend

A tragic accident led to a decade-long legal battle for Vaibhav, wrongly convicted of murdering his friend Mangesh.

Vaibhav’s initial panic and subsequent actions of concealing the death were considered, but the scientific evidence ultimately proved crucial in his acquittal.
