Dara kept saying he was innocent and not even there in the first place (where and when Staines was burnt) AND the courts also had no actual evidence of his having done anything. And what they did have against Dara and his co-accused, the courts had to confess was "speculative evidence" that was "absolutely weak" - not anything they could hold them guilty for (they said the evidence against Dara was "of identical nature" to what they had against his co-accused).
The least Hindus can do is believe him when he says he is innocent.

<i><b>What should interest every heathen however, is the following - excerpts from the actual news articles follow after:</b></i>
1. Courts acquitted 11 of the 13 because said the courts "the nature of evidence is absolutely weak and on the basis of such speculative evidence, it is not possible to hold any of the accused guilty for criminal conspiracy". About Dara Singh, they said the evidence against him was the same! "Evidence against the accused including Dara Singh" were "of identical nature". Consequently, that "No justification is available from the evidence in record to single out Dara Singh for convicting him".
2. CBI investigation was seriously dubious:
Courts said âWe cannot accept the investigation to be an impartial oneâ about the way the prosecution (CBI) side conducted the investigation.
Courts noted that CBI had tortured at least one of the accused to get confessions.
Courts noted that the CBI had cheated in getting their eyewitness testimony: the courts essentially said the Test Identification parade was rigged by the Christian Bureau of Inquisition, CBI.
[...]
4. The CBI was not pleased when the lack of real evidence against Dara meant the courts overturned his death sentence and gave him life imprisonment instead. Because a dead Dara can't talk and a live Dara had something else to say. CBI tried to get the Supreme Court to go back on HC and give Dara a death sentence, on the grounds that it was a special case "because the motive was communal".
5. Most interestingly for a heathen reader, Dara Singh himself says he is innocent: that he was never at the scene, that <b>his presence at the murder site was only *presumed* because the people who'd gathered there shouted their slogans in his name.</b>
Next to that, he was not allowed to even speak to his lawyer or his brother thanks to christoterrorism having prevailed on his jailors. In his incarceration, Dara was fettered, not given any water or access to toilet facilities. He asked for free communication with the media, water and toilet facilities and to be released from the *shackles* on his feet.

Dara is a hero (for protecting Hindus and cows), but not for what you were connecting him to: he did not murder Staines.

Death to traitors.
