Thane Court Acquits Man in Girlfriend's Death Due to Lack of Proof
In Thane, India, a man was accused of killing his girlfriend in 2019.
The court looked at all the evidence, but it wasn't enough to prove he did it.
The prosecution, like the lawyers trying to prove he's guilty, said the man and woman were in a relationship, and he wanted to marry her.
The defense said the woman attacked him first.
Because there were no witnesses to what happened inside the shop, the court found the evidence unclear, and the man was found not guilty.
