A Mumbai magistrate’s court has acquitted a 36-year-old hospital cleaner of voyeurism charges, citing insufficient evidence. The cleaner was accused of filming a senior resident doctor while she was changing in a ladies’ room nearly six years ago. The prosecution failed to explain how the act of filming could have occurred, given the physical constraints of the setting. Key evidence showed that the wall separating the cleaner from the doctor was 10 feet high, while the cleaner stood only 5.5 feet tall, making it implausible for him to have captured any video without aid or additional equipment. The lack of substantial proof and the failure of the prosecution to explain the circumstances convincingly led to the cleaner’s acquittal.
