Court acquits Haryana policeman of rape charge

A court here Monday acquitted a Haryana Police constable in a rape case, terming the allegation "motivated".

The complainant, originally from the state's Hisar district, now lives in a colony here, while Ram was also posted at Sadar police station.

The defense counsel told the court that during the medical examination of the women, no mark was found on her body.
