Key Facts: Mohan was accused of threatening a pani puri vendor (witness) on 8.11.2016, brandishing a knife, robbing ₹1,500, and threatening bystanders. However, the court found critical inconsistencies: the complainant-witness gave contradictory statements between his written complaint and court testimony, and a second key witness admitted having no knowledge of the incident, rendering the prosecution evidence unreliable.
