    The Additional Sessions Judge in Darjeeling acquitted Sabin Kumar Chhetri of charges under IPC Sections 376/511 (attempted rape and sexual assault), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted contradictions in witness testimonies, lack of corroborative evidence (missing WhatsApp messages and nude pictures), and inconsistencies in the victim's account of when she disclosed the incident, determining that relying solely on interested witnesses without corroboration was insufficient to establish guilt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
