Thane court acquits man accused of manhandling traffic cop in 2010

A court in Maharashtra’s Thane district has acquitted a 41-year-old man accused of manhandling a traffic police inspector in 2010, giving him the benefit of doubt.

Additional Sessions Judge VL Bhosale, in her order passed on November 8, held the prosecution has failed to prove the charges against the accused beyond reasonable doubt and hence he needs to be acquitted.

A copy of the order was made available on Wednesday.
