Man accused of raping tenant's wife acquitted

Additional Sessions Judge Ajay Kumar Jain let off Imran from the charges of rape, also relying on the medical report, which said the woman had not been raped.

"In her testimony before the court, she stated that she along with her husband was residing as tenant in the house of accused Imran and there she fell in love with him and had sexual relations with him voluntarily.

"Medical examination also does not suggest any forcible intercourse, on the other hand consensual intercourse appears more plausible," the court said, adding "therefore, Imran is given benefit of doubt and acquitted of all charges."

Imran was arrested after the woman lodged a complaint with police alleging that he had raped her in his house, where she was staying with her husband, when her husband was out.

The woman had added that on January 1, 2012 she along with her husband had come to Delhi from their native village Sujana in Uttar Pradesh.

On January 2, 2012 while they were sitting on footpath near Sarai Kale Khan bus stand here, accused Imran had met them and had asked them to stay at his house as tenants, she had said. (MORE)
