A man, who was accused of raping a 22-year-old woman on the false pretext of marraige, has been acquitted by a Delhi court which said there was no evidence of he assuring her to tie the nuptial knot.
The court said there was evidence that the man and the woman were in love and she was not of such a tender age to get carried away by any ‘sweet talk’ of the accused.
‘There is no evidence on record to suggest that the accused had made any promise to the prosecutrix (woman) to marry her,’ Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat said, while acquitting the man, a resident of Uttam Nagar.
