A Criminal Court has acquitted Hassan Shan of theft and damage to property over the burglary of a phone shop on Maaveyo Magu in Male', ruling that a fingerprint found on a movable cardboard box was insufficient to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The court noted that police could not prepare a video analysis report because the suspect was masked and the shop was dark.
