(MENAFN- NewsBytes)
In Nagpur , more than a thousand policemen spent five to six long hours scanning CCTV footage from across the city and questioning dozens of people. The action was necessitated after a 19-year-old woman filed a complaint Monday alleging abduction and gang-rape. However, the case turned out to be false as the investigators found she had cooked up the entire story. Here are more details.
Context Why does this story matter?
The case highlights the pertinent issue of misuse of laws against sexual violence over which courts have expressed worry. Earlier this year, a peculiar case surfaced from Gurugram where a 20-year-old woman filed seven rape cases against seven different men in a span of one year. In fact, nearly 40% rape cases were declared false by police in Haryana between 2018 and 2020.
Complaint What were the woman's allegations?
