Panchkula Court Acquits Man in Case of Minor Delivering Baby at School
A 23-year-old man was acquitted by a Panchkula fast-track court in a case involving a 15-year-old girl who delivered a baby in her school washroom in May 2023. The court cited investigative lapses, contradictions in the victim's statements, and a DNA test excluding the accused as the biological father. While the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, the court did not rule out the possibility of a separate sexual offence. The girl was confirmed a minor based on school records.
