In a significant ruling, a Hisar court has acquitted Chandi Ram of charges related to an alleged suicide attempt during the 2014 police operation at Satlok Ashram in Barwala. The Additional Sessions Judge Manglesh Kumar Chaubey set aside the 2019 conviction, stating that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. The case stemmed from a police action on November 17, 2014, aimed at arresting self-styled godman Rampal. Chandi Ram was accused of pouring a flammable substance on himself and attempting suicide while allegedly violating prohibitory orders, leading to charges under Sections 188 and 309 of the Indian Penal Code. However, the court highlighted significant inconsistencies in the prosecution's case and noted the absence of independent witnesses or conclusive visual evidence to support the allegations. This ruling marks the end of a prolonged legal battle for Chandi Ram, providing relief to him and his family.
