A man, accused of raping and cheating a girl on the pretext of marrying her, has been acquitted by a Delhi court after the complainant said she had lodged the case as he did not return her money.
The special fast track court, constituted to try the cases of sexual offence against women, let off Mohit Kumar observing that the girl had not said anything incriminating against him during her deposition before it and instead said that the allegations levelled against him were wrong.
“The prosecutrix has not deposed an iota of evidence of her being raped at all. She has not even mentioned the word rape in her evidence nor has deposed anything incriminating against the accused Mohit Kumar,” Additional Sessions Judge Nivedita Anil Sharma said.
The court also said the girl had turned hostile in her deposition and had not attributed any criminal role on the part of the accused.
