A Thane court has acquitted a man and four of his other family members accused of subjecting his wife to cruelty, noting the woman "resiled" and did not support her own version, reported news agency PTI.

Additional Sessions Judge Amit M Shete, in the order passed on April 3, gave benefit of doubt to the accused and held the prosecution has failed to prove the charges against all of them and hence they need to be acquitted, reported PTI.
