Judgement

Case Summary Nidhun Kumar K and Others v. State of Kerala Sessions Case No. 400/2025, Erattupetta Fast Track Special Court Judgment dated 31 March 2026 The court acquitted all six accused (Nidhun Kumar K, Jithin Mohan M, Syam Mohan, Abhiram V.S., Sohil P. Alex, and Abhijith K.P.) of charges under POCSO Act sections 12 r/w 11(iii) and 11(v), and IT Act section 67B(d) for allegedly showing private parts to a child and extorting nude images via Instagram, WhatsApp, and Snapchat. The survivor categorically denied knowing the accused or any contact with them, while the only supporting witness (the child's father) gave testimony marked by significant contradictions with his police statement and was found to harbor animosity toward the victim's household; additionally, critical forensic evidence of the mobile phone was absent, rendering the prosecution's case insufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
