A local court here has acquitted 36 people in connection with a clash between illegal squatters at Jawahar Bagh and government employees over three years back.
While acquitting them on Monday, the court issued non-bailable warrants against the nine others booked in the case.
Followers of cult leader Ram Vriksh Yadav had illegally occupied Jawahar Bagh, a public space here, for months.
In June 2016, nearly 30 of them were killed in police action to evict them. Two police personnel, including a superintendent of police, also died.
The acquittal on Monday, however, relates to a confrontation two months earlier at the local tehsil office.
