2006 Mumbai train blasts: Ex-Mumbai top cop calls blasts acquittal disappointing

Former Mumbai top cop Anami Narayan Roy described the Bombay HC verdict as a “huge disappointment”. Roy was police commissioner when the blasts took place. “We had done highly professional work and there was very little scope for finding fault with our investigation,” Roy said.

Roy said between the incident and HC verdict, the accused had approached the HC and SC on umpteen occasions, but there was no relief to them, and all along, the line chosen by Mumbai police and other law agencies was upheld. Roy said he was there before the trial court for a full five days at a stretch as an authority for granting permission for prosecution.
