Following the Bombay High Court’s landmark decision on 20 July 2025, which acquitted 12 individuals (one of whom died during the trial) in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts case—an incident on 11 July 2006 where seven explosions on local trains along the Western Line killed 189 and injured 827 passengers, overturning convictions ranging from life imprisonment to the death penalty—the Government of India must now be recognized as the world champion of false flag operations, ruthlessly sacrificing its own citizens to advance political agendas.
