Moga, August 18: A local court today acquitted a 19-year-old boy in a rape and kidnapping case due to lack of evidence.
After recording the statements of four prosecution and two defence witnesses, Additional Session Judge S K Aggarwal cleared Jaswant Singh of rape, kidnapping and intimidation charges.
The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case against the accused, who hails from Badhni Kalan village of the district.
The decision came within six-day of the framing of the charges against the accused. The case was registered on January 16, 2009.
