Mumbai Court Acquits Four in 2019 Gang Rape Case, Citing Lack of Evidence
•A special POCSO Act court in Mumbai acquitted four men accused in a 2019 gang-rape case.
•The court cited a lack of reliable evidence and failure to prove common intention among the accused.
•Additional Sessions Judge Ashwini D Lokhande ordered the immediate release of the accused, who were imprisoned since August 2019.
•The prosecution's case was based on unreliable evidence and did not connect the accused to the offense.
•The victim, a mentally disabled girl, could not be examined in court as she went missing from Bihar in 2024; police failed to record her statement properly.
