The Patna High Court said that an accused turning off the light, lying on a woman and pressing her mouth cannot be classified as rape or an attempt to commit rape. The court stated that it cannot be classified as rape unless it is corroborated by other concrete evidence such as physical marks, torn clothing, or medical proof of penetration.
