Police theory falls flat, Court acquits two accused in 7-year-old cheating case

The accused, who were later identified as Piyush and Deepak, were arrested and charged under sections 420 (cheating) and 419 (impersonation) read with section 34 (common intention) of the IPC. However, the court acquitted them, stating that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt.

Abhinay Goel, counsel of the accused argued that the accused were falsely implicated   in the case. After hearing of the arguments the Court acquitted the accused. The court said that prosecution has failed to prove charges beyond reasonable doubt.
