PANAJI:
Ashish Kerkar, resident of Pilgaon, Bicholim, was acquitted of all charges in the same crime as the court noted that his role was restricted only to introducing the complainant to the accused. “No evidence has been produced on record to show the delivery of money to him,” the judgment reads.
The accused with their common intention dishonestly induced the complainant Samir Tari to part with Rs 67,000 on September 30, 2008 and Oct 16, 2008 on the pretext of sending him abroad for job in a hotel in Kuwait.
