Convicted for raping a minor in 2001, two men after spending years in jail were acquitted by the Supreme Court on 21 August stating ‘false charges’ against them, reported The Times of India.

A bench comprising Justice NV Ramana and Mohan M Shantanagoudar acquitted the two after one of them appealed to the apex court against the concurrent judgments of a Faridabad trial court and the Punjab and Haryana High court that convicted them.
