Sunil Dindial, who was accused of the sexual molestation of a six-year-old girl, yesterday walked out of the High Court in Georgetown a free man after being found not guilty by a jury.
As his shackles and handcuffs were being removed after Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall told him that he was free to go, a visibly-relieved Dindial could be heard thanking the jury.
After about two hours of deliberations, the 12-member mixed panel returned majority verdicts, acquitting Dindial on the first count of raping the child. This verdict was 11 to 1.
