Supreme Court acquits 3 men on death row for Delhi teen’s rape-murder

The Supreme Court on Monday acquitted three men sentenced to death in the brutal gangrape-cum-murder of a 19-year-old woman in Delhi’s Chhawla in 2012. SC said the trial court acted as a “passive umpire” while the prosecution failed to prove the guilt of the accused by adducing cogent and clinching evidence. Pointing out to many “glaring lapses” during the trial, the SC said the prosecution failed to prove their involvement in the crime beyond reasonable doubt.
