Bollywood actor Vijay Raaz was acquitted on Thursday by a Maharashtra court in a sexual harassment case filed against him in 2020 by a female crew member during the shoot of Vidya Balan-starrer Sherni. The Gondia court held that the prosecution had "failed to present sufficient evidence" to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt. Court cites lack of evidence and lapses in investigation As per PTI, the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Mahendra Sorte dropped the charges under Sections 354-A (sexual harassment) and 354-D (stalking) of the Indian Penal Code, citing serious lapses in the investigation. The complaint had been filed at the Ramnagar police station in Gondia, alleging that Raaz harassed the woman between the night of October 25 and morning of October 29, 2020, at a hotel where the film's cast and crew were lodged. The actor was arrested on November 4, 2020, in Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, and was granted bail the same day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo According to the court order, the investigating officer did not visit the alleged crime scene nor did they record the statements of hotel staff members named by the complainant. 'The evidence presented by the prosecution appears weak and insufficient,' the judge observed. Even the CCTV footage submitted by the prosecution 'did not clearly show the accused committing the alleged act.'

The benefit of doubt, as per criminal law, went to the accused.

Not only did he have to leave the shoot midway, but he also lost work thereafter.'
