Man died playing with gun in 2010, finds SC, acquits friend

A tragic accident led to a decade-long legal battle for Vaibhav, wrongly convicted of murdering his friend Mangesh. The Supreme Court overturned the conviction, highlighting the bullet’s trajectory, which suggested a possible accidental or suicidal shooting. Vaibhav’s initial panic and subsequent actions of concealing the death were considered, but the scientific evidence ultimately proved crucial in his acquittal.
