A Mumbai court has acquitted film director Subash Kapoor in a 2014 sexual harassment case by observing silence on the part of a woman who is "mature and educated" to raise a complaint against the accused and delay in filing FIR created doubt about the truthfulness of the incident.

The FIR in the case was filed in 2014 on the complaint of the woman, a journalist, who had claimed the director had, in May 2012, misbehaved with her in her home.
