A court in Thane acquits a 40-year-old coach accused of raping a minor. The court clears him of all charges under the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. In its reasoning, the court cites inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case and the absence of corroborative evidence. The judgment indicates that the evidence presented was not sufficient to establish guilt beyond the required standard. Based on the accounts available, the court does not find the allegations proved in a manner that meets the legal threshold for conviction under the IPC and POCSO. The acquittal ends the criminal proceedings against the accused in this case, according to the report. The decision focuses on evidentiary gaps and contradictions rather than on the prosecution’s broader claims. The court’s conclusion is that the case against the coach fails due to unreliable or incomplete corroboration.
