Removing woman's salwar, pressing her chest amounts to outraging modesty, not attempt to rape: Patna HC acquits man

The Patna High Court acquitted a man convicted of attempt to rape and wrongful confinement. The court found his actions insufficient to establish the serious charge of attempt to rape. Evidence presented did not meet the legal threshold for such a severe offense. The judges noted a lack of medical corroboration for the allegations. Consequently, the man was cleared of all charges by the high court.
