A Delhi court has let off a man in a case of alleged sexual assault of two minor sisters, stating that the prosecution case is doubtful.

Alone at home

According to the prosecution, the accused had allegedly stripped and attempted to rape the two sisters, aged seven and four years in 2015.

The victims were alone at their home where they were allegedly assaulted as their mother was at her workplace. The victims were known to the accused, the prosecution said.

“The contradictions at each and every point, right from the registration of the FIR to the actual incident and delay in reporting the matter to the police, absence of any injury on the person of the victim although she was a small girl of seven years, despite allegations of penetrative sexual assault, make the entire case of the prosecution doubtful and no conviction can be based in such circumstances,” Additional Sessions Judge Sanjay Sharma-I said while acquitting the accused.

‘Not examined’

“The younger sister was not medically examined for the reasons known to the investigating agency and the medical report of the elder sister was totally contrary to the depositions of the victims. It would only mean that either she (younger child) was never sexually assaulted or the investigating officer never believed her version given in her statement under Section 164 CrPC,” the Judge further said.

In his defence, the accused had submitted before the court that he had some monetary transactions with the late husband of the complainant, the mother of the two girls, and when he demanded his money back, she lodged a false case against him.
