    Summary The Fast Track Special Court in Kolhapur acquitted all four accused (Vinod Haridas Aakade, Mahadevi @ Madhuri Sitaram Yadav, Radhika Sidharath Aakade, and Shakuntala Vishwas Gaikwad) of charges under IPC Sections 363, 366-A and POCSO Act Section 12 for kidnapping and sexual harassment of a 14-year-old minor. The court found the prosecution failed to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt, primarily because the victim turned hostile and denied the prosecution's case, and no corroborating evidence of any overt act by the accused was presented. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
