Delhi Court Acquits Man Accused of Assaulting Constable

A man named Ashish Joshi was accused of attacking a police constable after being caught drinking in public.

The court heard that the constable claimed Joshi punched him and tore his uniform.

However, the court found the police's story hard to believe.

There was no proof that Joshi had a liquor bottle or glass when he was caught, and the place described for the incident had no drain to throw away evidence.

Also, no outside witnesses saw what happened.

The judge said the police didn't try hard enough to find other witnesses.

Because the story didn't make much sense and evidence was missing, the judge decided Joshi was not guilty and let him go free.
