Lost in translation: Hindi statement sinks drug case in Tamil Nadu court

IndiaTimes Friday, 13 June 2025 ()
A Chennai court acquitted Nag Narayan Prasad in a narcotics case due to critical prosecution errors. The primary issue was the submission of a key witness statement in Hindi without translation, rendering it inadmissible. Further weakening the case, crucial witnesses were not examined, and digital evidence lacked proper certification, leading to the accused's release due to insufficient evidence.
