In such a situation, after listening to our arguments, the court has also acquitted Abhishek, Aarti Dayal and Shweta Jain. The verdict was pronounced by the court of ADJ Pallavi Dwivedi on Monday.

During the investigation of the honey trap case, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) got information about horse-trading of a girl. After which CID Bhopal had registered another case of human trafficking on the complaint of the victim woman.
