A Delhi court has acquitted three brothers, including one who spent nearly a year in Tihar Jail and two minors who were sent to a juvenile home, in a r**e and POCSO case after a legal battle spanning around five years. The family alleges the FIR was the result of a long-running property dispute with the boys’ paternal aunt, claiming they were falsely implicated despite never having met the complainant.
According to the father, the tamily lost years of their lives, the eldest son’s education was disrupted, and they faced severe social stigma. He has also alleged that the police failed to conduct a proper investigation and attempted to extort 750 lakh—allegations that remain unproven.
With the acquittal, the case has sparked fresh debate over wrongful prosecution, police accountability, and the lasting impact of criminal allegations on those who are ultimately cleared by the courts.
