Mumbai Court Acquits Cleaner in Voyeurism Case Due to Lack of Evidence
A hospital cleaner was accused of secretly filming a doctor in the changing room.
The doctor said she saw a camera and caught the cleaner.
The court found that the prosecution didn't prove how the cleaner, who is shorter than the wall, could have recorded the video.
Also, a report from the phone wasn't presented.
Because of these issues, the court let the cleaner go free.
