Case Summary: State v. Vivek Kumar and Rajiv @ Goli (31/2026) Accused Vivek and Rajiv @ Goli were charged under Sections 109(1)/238(a) read with Section 3(5) BNS for allegedly stabbing complainant Mukesh with knives in April 2025. The court acquitted both accused, finding the prosecution failed to establish guilt because the complainant—the key witness—turned hostile during trial, refused to identify the accused as assailants, and disowned his initial statement, while other prosecution witnesses provided only formal procedural evidence.
