Chandigarh: Rape case falls apart after 25 years as victim fails to identify accused

The case, dating back to October 2000, involved the kidnapping and rape of an 11-year-old girl from Chandigarh’s Industrial Area; the crime was confirmed through medical examination, but the accused remained at large for 22 years

Arrested in 2022, Mukesh finally faced trial — but gaps in evidence, prosecution’s failure to establish her age at the time of crime and the victim turning hostile, after failure to identify him, ultimately led to his acquittal. (Getty Images/Purestock)
