Bombay High Court Acquits Raghunath Yemul Quashing Black Magic Act Charges in Nana Gaikwad Case

He was added after a belated statement, not FIR

The Bombay High Court has completely acquitted Raghunath Rajaram Yemul, quashing all charges under the Maharashtra Black Magic Act in the Nana Gaikwad family domestic violence case. The court found Yemul’s name absent from the original FIR and noted he was implicated only through a supplementary statement recorded ten days later. It also cited hearsay witness accounts, lack of proof he met or communicated with the complainant, and no direct evidence linking turmeric and vermilion actions to his instructions.
