The Chhattisgarh High Court has acquitted Bastar’s CAF (Chhattisgarh armed power) soldier Rupesh Kumar Puri of rape charges. The Bank of Justice Naresh Kumar Chandravanshi ended the ten -year imprisonment order and a fine of Rs 10,000, which was passed on February 21, 2022 by the Fast Track Court Bastar (Jagdalpur). According to sources, this case was a long time in the Bastar district. The Fast Track Court previously convicted the accused on serious charges and sentenced him to serious punishment. However, after hearing the case again, the Supreme Court found that it was not a case of forced sexual exploitation, but based on mutual love and consent. The Supreme Court made it clear in his order that the evidence presented in the case and the statements of the witnesses did not prove that the accused used any form of power. The court said the relationship between the accused and the victim is based on mutual consent and agreement. On this basis, the court canceled the order of the Fast Track Court and acquitted the accused. Attorneys and legal experts say this decision is based on judicial discretion and facts.
