Patna High Court reduces rape conviction to indecent assault due to lack of evidence

The Patna High Court has altered the conviction of Mohammad Ainul Haq from rape to indecent assault. The court found insufficient supporting evidence for the rape charge despite the victim's testimony. Key factors included a lack of corroboration from other witnesses and an absence of medical evidence, such as bruises. Consequently, Haq was fined 25,000 rupees and ordered to pay compensation to the victim.
