MAHMOOD FAROOQUI, 'PEEPLI LIVE' CO-DIRECTOR, ACQUITTED IN RAPE CASE

The Delhi High Court acquitted Peepli Live co-director Mahmood Farooqui of raping a US citizen, setting aside a lower court verdict sentencing him to seven years in jail. The court, in its judgment, said there were doubts whether such an incident took place in the manner alleged by the woman concerned, ‘and even if it did occur, (there is lack of clarity on) whether it was without the consent/will of the prosecutrix,’ it added.
