Delhi Court Acquits Former Student in Attempted Murder Case

A Delhi court acquitted Dishant Singh, a former student accused of attempting to murder the managing director of a private institute, citing insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to prove Singh's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and discrepancies in witness testimonies further weakened the case.

A Delhi court has acquitted Dishant Singh, a former student facing accusations of attempted murder against a private institute's managing director. The court concluded that the prosecution did not prove Singh's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, leading to his acquittal.

The incident reportedly occurred on May 1, 2015 when Singh allegedly entered the office of managing director Dimple Khanna, threatening her with a loaded country-made pistol. Despite claims that he was overpowered by staff and arrested, the court found flaws in the prosecution's arguments.

The judge noted inconsistencies in witness testimonies and the absence of a key witness as significant factors undermining the prosecution's case. The ruling emphasized doubts about the actual events, leading to Singh's acquittal due to lack of clear evidence.
