In jail for 3 years, Mumbai driver acquitted in POCSO case as DNA test proves innocence

The court said it was clear that someone else had impregnated the minor girl. The judge further noted that the investigating officer was not able to find the person who had committed the offence.

After spending three years in prison, a special court under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act acquitted a driver who was falsely accused of raping and impregnating a 13-year-old girl. The case was lodged three years ago when on January 19, 2018, the girl visited a local doctor with complaint that she was not getting her periods. The doctor found that the minor girl was four-month pregnant and asked her to call her mother.
