Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja said the prosecution case was nothing but a "jumbled compilation of facts bits of evidence" which cannot be categorised as "credible" and acquitted the two men by giving them benefit of doubt in the gangrape case.
The judge freed Allahabad resident Hawan Pratap Singh and Bihar native Pintu Kumar saying, "I am constrained to hold that the prosecution has also failed to prove the alleged place of incident which, to my mind, is extremely fatal to the case of the prosecution."
"She has time and again stated before the court that she has been pressurised by the investigating officer (IO) / Inspector Meera Sharma at various stages of investigation," the court said.
"Keeping in view the observation based on evidence brought on record during trial, I am constrained to direct the Commissioner of Police, Delhi to initiate an inquiry into the allegations made against Inspector Meera Sharma.
