Bathani Tola: A massacre, a conviction, an acquittal and a 30-year wait for justice that still haunts Bihar’s bloodiest caste crime

Despite a lower court conviction, the Patna High Court acquitted all accused in 2012. The case now languishes in the Supreme Court, leaving victims in a prolonged state of uncertainty and despair.
