31 yrs on, 16 get life for Hashimpura killings

The judgment overturned a trial court's acquittal in 2015 of the accused. The Delhi HC bench said it was a case of "targeted killings of persons belonging to one minority community". 16 former UP Provincial Armed Constabulary personnel have been convicted of shooting dead 42 Muslim men in Meerut's Hashimpura area on the night of May 22, 1987.
