The Supreme Court acquitted Manoj alias Munna in a 2004 Chhattisgarh murder case, holding that suspicion cannot replace proof. The Court ruled that “last seen” evidence alone is too weak to justify a life imprisonment conviction.
Today, On 19th December, Supreme Court agreed to hear a female lawyer’s plea alleging shocking 14-hour illegal detention and custodial sexual assault by police officials. The bench said serious allegations warranted examination and issued notice while directing preservation of CCTV footage evidence.
