    Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Sanpati Bakanna Tangula Court Decision: The Special Court (POCSO Act) in Aheri acquitted the accused Sanpati Bakanna Tangula of all charges under IPC Section 354(D) and POCSO Act Section 12 on April 10, 2026. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had harassed or sexually molested a 15-year-old schoolgirl in November 2019 at Sironcha bus stand, as the victim herself did not support the charges during trial.
