Patna: The Bihar government will file an appeal against the High Court verdict before the Supreme Court in the 1997 Laxmanpur Bathe massacre case. On Wednesday, the Patna High Court had set aside the conviction of all 26 Ranvir Sena members accused in the case.
A division bench acquitted them citing lack of evidence. Of those acquitted, 16 had been sentenced to death and 10 to life imprisonment by a lower court in 2010.
58 Dalits were allegedly gunned down by members of the Ranvir Sena in the village of Laxmanpur Bathe in 1997.
