A Thane court has acquitted a woman and her alleged lover of murdering her husband in 2018, ruling that despite evidence of an extramarital affair and suspicious behavior, the prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the death was homicide rather than an accident. Judge S B Agrawal determined that the circumstantial evidence was insufficient to support murder charges against the accused.
