LAW enforcement agencies appear to have been finding it difficult to get convictions in cases, which they have registered under stringent anti-terror law, as the data prepared by the government has revealed.
From 2014 to 2022, a total of 8,719 cases were registered under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and of these, there were acquittals in 567 cases, while 215 resulted in conviction.
Cases under the UAPA are registered by different law enforcement agencies.
According to data, since 2014, except for one intervening year, the acquittals have been much higher than convictions consistently. This trend has not changed as even 2022 saw the highest number of acquittals since 2014.
