A Delhi court acquitted Rohit, who was accused of murdering his younger brother Yash in Nand Nagri, citing a lack of sufficient evidence. The case stemmed from an incident on September 17, 2022, where Rohit allegedly stabbed Yash with scissors following an argument. However, the court found that key prosecution witnesses failed to identify Rohit as the assailant and made contradictory statements during the trial. The judge noted that the prosecution did not prove the motive behind the alleged murder, as witnesses denied claims of a property dispute. Additionally, the recovery of the scissors was deemed questionable, as they were found in a public area without independent verification. Ultimately, the court ruled that the prosecution did not establish the case beyond a reasonable doubt, granting Rohit the benefit of the doubt.
