Judgement

Case Summary: State of Kerala v. Abhinand K M (Case 205/2025) The Fast Track Special Court acquitted 20-year-old Abhinand K M of charges under BNS sections 351(2), 64(1), POCSO Act sections 3(a) and 4, and IT Act section 67B(a). The prosecution alleged he befriended a minor via Instagram, coerced her to send nude photos, and committed sexual assault in October-November 2024. However, the victim (PW1) retracted her initial complaint at trial, denying knowing the accused, denying any sexual assault occurred, and stating she was not coerced to send photos. The victim's mother (PW2) similarly disavowed her prior statement. Finding the key witnesses untrustworthy and lacking evidence to connect the accused to the alleged offences, the court acquitted him and released seized mobile phones after forensic clearance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
