New Delhi, April 04: An MCD sweeper and a contractor running a toilet complex have been acquitted by a Delhi court of the charge of raping a woman worker of the civic body on grounds of four months delay in lodging the case by the victim and unreliability of her deposition.
“I do not find testimony of the victim of immaculate quality. It seems artificial and the story unfolded by her is unreliable and improbable,” Additional Sessions Judge Manoj Jain said adding “it is not safe to convict the accused persons merely on uncorroborated and non-natural version of the woman.”
“There is also a mystifying delay in lodging the FIR,” the court added.
