Patna HC: Removing salwar and touching chest is outraging modesty, not rape

The Patna High Court ruled that pulling off a woman's salwar and pressing her chest constitutes the offense of outraging modesty rather than rape. This decision came during the review of a 2008 incident where a photo studio owner was accused of harassing a woman. The court observed that there was no medical evidence to back the rape claim and subsequently cleared the accused of that charge.
