Acquitting Mohammed Bashit Ali of charges of raping the

girl, the court said, "Taking into account, overall facts and circumstances, in which the prosecutrix had herself voluntarily accompanied the accused to Mumbai and was staying there with him willingly, it is difficult to believe that he had committed sexual intercourse with her against her will. Even this fact is also not established from the overall testimony of the girl". A case of kidnapping was lodged by the girl's father in June 2010 when his 14-year-old daughter did not return home from the market. The man told police that his neighbours had last seen his daughter with Ali and he might have taken her to Mumbai to his friend's place. According to police, Ali and the girl were not found in Mumbai and the accused was later on nabbed along with the minor in Mahavir Enclave here based on secret information. However, during the trial, the court found that the accused was apprehended in Mumbai by cops there and was brought here by two officials of the Delhi Police. "The IO also spoke a blatant lie in this regard before this court while appearing as a prosecution witness. The other police officials appearing as prosecution witnesses also lied in the court in this regard at the behest of the IO," it said. The court also said that the police officials of Ulhas Nagar police station in Mumbai have not been examined as witnesses by the prosecution. "It is not clear that under what circumstances and on the basis of what information was the accused arrested by the police officials in Mumbai," it added.
