High Court acquits UP woman convicted over deaths of her three children

The Allahabad High Court has acquitted a woman from Uttar Pradesh who had been convicted in connection with the deaths of her three children, overturning a lower court's verdict.

A bench of Justice Siddhartha Varma and Justice Jai Krishna Upadhyay set aside the conviction and sentences of Priyanka and her alleged partner Ashish, also known as Daini, who is the younger brother of her deceased husband.

The bench delivered its ruling on Tuesday, bringing to a close a case that had resulted in custodial sentences for both the accused at the trial court stage.
