In a significant development, the Ahmedabad Magistrate Court has acquitted Gujarat Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani and 30 others in the 2017 rail blockade case. The case involved the disruption of the Rajdhani train at Kalupur railway station in Ahmedabad during a protest led by Mevani and Saroda village residents. The protest aimed at asserting the possession of land plots allocated to Dalits.
