Why Mumbai court acquitted bizman in 2013 suicide case

 A Mumbai court acquitted a businessman accused of abetting his HIV-positive ex-wife’s suicide, ruling mere harassment insufficient. The 12-year case hinged on allegations of abuse and threats. The judge emphasized the need for clear intent and direct instigation, finding prosecution evidence lacking on both counts, leading to reasonable doubt and acquittal. A Mumbai court acquitted a businessman accused of abetting his HIV-positive ex-wife’s suicide, ruling mere harassment insufficient.
