Pune Woman Techie Faces Legal Heat After False Rape Allegation
In a startling turn of events, a 22-year-old IT professional from Pune has been booked by the police for allegedly fabricating a rape case against a man she falsely accused of posing as a delivery executive. The woman, who had earlier claimed she was sexually assaulted in her Kondhwa apartment, now faces charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for misleading investigators and tampering with evidence.
Initial Allegations vs. Police Findings
Earlier this month, the woman had filed an FIR stating that a man pretending to deliver bank documents forcibly entered her home, sprayed an unknown substance on her face, and raped her. She alleged that the attacker took a selfie on her phone while she was unconscious and left a threatening message.
However, after an extensive investigation involving 500 police personnel, CCTV footage analysis, and digital forensics, authorities uncovered glaring inconsistencies in her story. Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar revealed that the accused was actually known to the woman for nearly a year, and there was no evidence of forced entry or any substance being used.
Legal Repercussions for False Complaint
The police have registered a non-cognizable offense against the woman under BNS Sections 212 (false information), 217 (misleading authorities), and 228 (fabricating evidence). She has been issued a notice to appear before investigators.
Commissioner Kumar expressed concern over such false complaints, stating, “Misleading cases like this harm genuine victims and strain the justice system.”
This incident has sparked discussions on the ramifications of false accusations, emphasizing the need for thorough investigations before drawing conclusions. Pune Police’s swift action in uncovering the truth highlights their commitment to ensuring justice—without bias.
