Delhi Court Acquits Man in Brother's Murder Case Citing Insufficient Evidence

A Delhi court acquitted Rohit in the murder case of his brother Yash, citing insufficient evidence. The prosecution alleged Rohit stabbed Yash with scissors after a dispute on September 17, 2022, but key witnesses gave contradictory testimonies and failed to identify the accused or weapon. The court also questioned the recovery of the scissors due to lack of independent verification. It ruled that the prosecution did not prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, granting Rohit the benefit of doubt.
