Rohit Jangde

Rohit Jangde was acquitted by the Supreme Court of India in a high-profile case regarding the murder of his stepdaughter, a six-year-old girl who went missing in 2018. The court found the evidence against him, primarily his status as the last person seen with the child and his subsequent confession leading to her remains, to be insufficient and based on weak legal interpretations from longstanding precedents. The justices emphasized that the investigation was flawed and left many questions unanswered, ultimately ruling that Jangde deserved the benefit of the doubt.
