JAMMU, Sept 7: Principal Sessions Judge Udhampur, A K Koul has acquitted Rohit Sharma, who was facing trial in the rape case.
According to the police case, accused assaulted prosecutrix sexually for over a period of one year deceitfully by saying that he belonged to a low caste family and wanted to marry her. It was on this promise of accused she allowed him access to her privacy and finally the accused allegedly took her to Udhampur, confined her in a room for three days, exploited her sexually and finally declined to marry her saying that he was a Brahmin by caste.
After hearing both the sides, Principal Sessions Judge observed, “this case is a failure gets fully justified from the statement of the prosecutrix itself. Even otherwise also the medical evidence does not support the charge of rape”.
“Prosecutrix was allegedly raped on May 23, 2010 and on May 24, 2010 she was examined medically but no evidence of rape was found. The statements of her parents do not lead us anywhere because they have only given hear say version which does not have any evidentiary value”, the court said.
Accordingly, the Court acquitted the accused of the charges.
