In a surprising turn of events, a court has acquitted three individuals accused of robbing a man and assaulting him with a pistol butt in 2019. The victim's failure to identify the suspects played a crucial role in this decision.

Additional Sessions Judge Geetanjali presided over the high-profile case brought against the accused by Shaheen Bagh police. Despite thorough efforts by the prosecution, the victim's testimony crumbled when he could not point out his alleged assailants in court.

As a result, the judge ruled that the prosecution did not establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Consequently, the accused, Aadil Khan, Faez Ismail, and Mohammad Umair, were acquitted, raising questions about the prosecution's handling of the case.
