New Delhi: A Delhi court acquitted three men facing charges of abducting and gang-raping a woman after the victim denied that the accused raped her.
Additional Sessions Judge T R Naval acquitted Nazeemuddin, Deepak Aggarwal and Idris Malik of the rape charges, saying that the victim failed to support the prosecution case.
It added that she had specifically denied that these accused took turns to rape her after abducting her. The judge said: “I come to the conclusion that prosecution has failed to prove its case against accused people beyond any reasonable suspicion and shadow of doubt. The reasons which support my conclusion are firstly that prosecutrix has failed to support the prosecution case.”
According to the prosecution, the woman was found lying unconscious on a road in Kailash Nagar area of east Delhi in December 2011 and taken to hospital by police.
