    Case Summary: State of Kerala v. P K Chandran (Sessions Case 276/2025) P K Chandran, aged 66, was charged under POCSO Act sections 7, 8, 10 read with 9(n) and BNS sections 75(1)(i), 75(2) for alleged sexual assault against a 13-year-old victim in October 2024. The Fast Track Special Court acquitted the accused after finding that the key prosecution witnesses—the victim (PW1) and her mother (PW2)—retracted their initial police statements in court, with PW1 explicitly denying the accused committed any sexual violence. The court held there was no incriminating evidence to connect the accused to the alleged offences and accordingly acquitted him under section 255 BNSS, cancelling his bail bond and releasing him.
