In a respite to Uttar Pradesh Child Development and Nutrition Minister Kailash Chaurasia, a district court today acquitted him of misbehaving and threating a postman ten years ago.
On February 28, Chief Judicial Magistrate Rajesh Bhardwaj had sentenced the minister to three years in jail in connection with the case registered against him by postman Krishna Dev Tripathi in 1995.
Chaurasiya had filed an appeal in the district court against the February 28 verdict, prosecution lawyer said.
