The Dindoshi Sessions Court on Wednesday acquitted a 48-year-old man who was accused of killing his minor daughter. The man was accused of strangulating his 13-year-old daughter to death as he was ashamed of her relationship.

The father, a resident of Marve, Malad, was acquitted due to lack of evidence. The case was based on circumstantial evidence. The two neighbours who deposed in the court were deemed hostile by the prosecution, which had examined 17 witnesses.
