Lying atop woman, sans backing proof, can’t be held as rape: Patna high court

In a significant turn of events, the Patna High Court has changed Mohammad Ainul Haq’s conviction from rape to indecent assault due to lack of supporting evidence for the original allegations. While the victim provided testimony, other witnesses did not support the claims, and the court cited the absence of medical proof like bruises. As a result, Haq was fined Rs 25,000 and ordered to compensate the victim.
