Controversial former RJD MP Pappu Yadav was acquitted today by the Patna High Court in CPI(M) leader Ajit Sarkar murder case due to lack of evidence.
A division bench comprising of justices V N Singh and K K Lal set aside the February 2008 conviction of Yadav and two other accused - Rajan Tiwari and Anil Kumar Yadav - by a lower court and acquitted them of all charges in connection with killing of Sarkar nearly 15 years ago.
