The trial Court, after going through the entire evidence, has acquitted the accused on the ground that the prosecutrix has admitted in her cross-examination that she had accompanied accused Kartik to Delhi and then to Bombay with her own wish. Further, in her statement made before the Court, she has stated that said accused had committed rape upon her at night whereas in statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. before learned Magistrate, she has stated that the accused tried to make sexual intercourse. There was no allegation against accused Kartik that he has given any threats to the accused before taking her to Delhi or Bombay or before committing sexual intercourse with her. There was various discrepancies in her statements during the course of the trial. Moreover, as far as the allegations levelled against accused Meenu and Rakesh Kumar Verma are concerned, there was no evidence to show their involvement in the entire occurrence. Consequently, as no overt act is found against the accused, therefore, the trial Court acquitted them.
