Gujarat High Court Acquits 3 in Gangrape Case
The Gujarat High Court in India recently set free three men who were earlier found guilty of a serious crime.
They were accused of hurting and killing a woman.
The court decided to let them go because the important DNA samples were not handled properly.
These samples were kept at the police station for 14 days too long, and the court said this made the evidence unreliable.
The judges said that just having a strong suspicion is not enough to prove someone is guilty.
They need solid proof, and in this case, the proof was not good enough.
Gujarat High Court acquitted three men in a gangrape and murder case.
DNA samples were delayed by 14 days, raising concerns about their reliability.
The court noted that suspicion alone cannot replace proof in legal cases.
The victim was the aunt of one of the accused, who was allegedly forced to commit the crime.
The trial court had earlier sentenced the men to death and imprisonment.
