Erode (TN): Eighteen years after the late Kannada matinee idol Dr. Rajkumar was kidnapped by the slain forest brigand Veerappan, the Goipichettipalayam Additional Magistrate Court in Erode district acquitted all the nine accused this morning for lack of evidence.
Additional District Judge Mani, in his judgment, stated that the prosecution did not gather enough evidence against the accused and “not even an iota of evidence was produced to show the accused were accomplices of Veerappan.”
