    Case Summary: State of Tamil Nadu v. Vishwanathan (Case 8/2025) The court acquitted accused Vishwanathan of charges under BNS sections 296(b) and 351(3), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt. Though the complainant testified that Vishwanathan threatened him with a sickle on September 27, 2024, the court noted critical evidentiary gaps: no independent witnesses corroborated the crime, and the investigating officer's testimony contained inconsistencies regarding the timeline and recovery procedures. The court concluded insufficient evidence established Vishwanathan's culpability for criminal intimidation with a weapon.
