Delhi court acquits man in 2011 murder case, convicts him for absconding

A Delhi court acquitted Amit Kumar in the 2011 murder of Ranbir Singh due to insufficient evidence, after key witnesses turned hostile and forensic evidence failed to link him.

The court convicted Amit Kumar under Section 174A IPC for absconding, after he pleaded guilty to evading a court proclamation.

The prosecution could not prove murder charges beyond reasonable doubt; the ballistic report did not connect the recovered pistol to the bullets in the victim's body.

The investigation was criticized for failing to collect CCTV footage or secure independent witnesses despite the incident occurring in broad daylight.
