A court in Kalyan in Thane district acquitted a man in a 2011 rape case as the victim and kin were untraceable and her testimony had not been recorded.
The 33-year-old man was accused of abducting a 15- year-old girl on October 28 that year and raping her in a lodge, after which the duo returned to Kalyan two days later, an official said.
