Court acquits man in 2018 cop shooting case

In 2018, a man named Pradeep Kumar was accused of trying to shoot a police officer in Dwarka, New Delhi.

The police said he was drunk and misbehaved with them, even biting a constable's thumb and pointing a pistol at an officer.

However, the gun did not fire.

The court recently decided that the man should be acquitted because the police did not provide enough evidence to prove he was guilty.

The judge said that while police witnesses are important, their testimony must be reliable and confident to convict someone.

The court found gaps in the police's evidence and decided to let the man go.
