Court acquits two after Mohali police fail to prove snatching case

Hindustan Times  

After Mohali police’s failure to prove two persons guilty for snatching a woman’s gold chain in Kurali, a local court acquitted the persons who were arrested last year. Police later apprehended the accused at a check post laid near Niholka Road, Kurali, and recovered the complainant’s gold chain. The accused’s counsel Jaswinder Singh vehemently argued that the prosecution miserably failed at proving its case as both complainant and the eye witness did not identify the accused. “The entire version of the prosecution as qua apprehending of the accused as well as recovery of the snatched gold chain being affected from him, is rendered doubtful,” the court pronounced while acquitting the accused.
