The court, on Thursday, acquitted the four in the absence of evidence to prove charges against them.

Counsel for Atul Rai, Anuj Yadav said that the court of special judge (MP-MLA) Avnish Gautam acquitted four people, including BSP MP Atul Rai, former district panchayat member Sujit Singh Belwa, Anil Mishra and Rajan Singh after charges against them were not proven in the case under Gangsters’ Act.
