A special court acquitted Goa minister Atanasio ‘Babush’ Monserrate of rape charges in a 2016 case, citing the prosecution's failure to prove rape and that the woman was a minor. The woman admitted during trial that she fabricated the allegations, leading to the case's collapse and the acquittal of a co-accused.
