London: A UK court on Tuesday dropped a case of “sexual grooming” against an Indian-origin British journalist and columnist Hasan Suroor for lack of evidence and declared him not guilty.

Suroor, who was arrested by British Transport Police (BTP) last November after an anti-paedophile sting operation in London, is now planning to sue the vigilante group, Unknown TV, behind the sting for damages.

“Following a further review of the case there is now no longer a realistic prospect of conviction,” the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) told Blackfriars Crown Court in a written submission on Tuesday.

The judge ruled that he had decided to return an “unequivocal verdict of not guilty”.

A written order declaring Suroor innocent is to be issued on 24 June along with a ruling on his application for his legal costs to be reimbursed.
