Gulshan Kumar murder case: Bombay HC upholds acquittal of producer Ramesh Taurani, lifer to Abdul Rauf

India TV News  

The Bombay High Court on Thursday upheld the life imprisonment awarded to a convict Abdul Rauf Dawood Merchant for the sensational daylight murder of music baron and T-Series owner Gulshan Kumar, near a temple 24 years ago. The court also confirmed the acquittal of TIPS company co-founder Ramesh Taurani but set aside the lower court's order acquitting Merchant's brother, Abdul Rashid Dawood Merchant, and sentenced him to undergo life imprisonment, said the Merchant brothers' lawyer Satish Maneshinde. The court's order came in the Maharashtra Government's appeal through the state counsel Prajakta Shinde against Taurani and Abdul Rashid's acquittal, and Abdul Rauf's appeal against his conviction and life sentence. On August 12, 1997, the Delhi-based music baron Gulshan Kumar was shot dead with 16 bullets outside a temple at Juhu in suburban Mumbai, triggering a massive upheaval in Bollywood.
