A Delhi court has cleared two accused of a knife assault after the key witness turned hostile during the trial.
A Delhi court delivered a verdict acquitting two men who had been charged with a knife attack. The judgment came after the prosecution's principal witness changed his testimony and turned hostile during the proceedings.
The hostile stance of the witness undermined the prosecution's case, leading the judge to find insufficient evidence to sustain the charges. Consequently, the two accused were released from all pending accusations related to the incident.
The court's decision effectively closes the case, though legal experts note that the acquittal could be appealed if new evidence emerges. No further details about the original incident were disclosed in the ruling.
