Definition of Circumstantial Evidence

The evidence which is enough to prove someone guilty of something was done wrong is known as circumstantial evidence.

It is proof of the fact which has been done against anyone. From this evidence, one can come to the conclusion easily.

For example, a person who committed a murder starts running from the crowd where the incident has happened. This shows the proof of the fact that the person running away from the incident place is the murderer who murdered the innocent.

Similarly, a truck driver who hits the front car and immediately runs away leaving his own vehicle. This eventually shows the proof of the fact that the person who is running away is the person who did something wrong.

Therefore, this type of evidence is known as circumstantial evidence where there is enough proof to provide the evidence.
