Fake rape story


The police have found that the incident of gang rape in a moving car near Charkop was concocted by the complainant, to teach a lesson to her friend who had abused her mother. She wanted her to be harassed by the police, who would have obviously questioned her in the case.

She told the police that on Thursday morning when she was on her way to college, an Ecco car stopped in front of her and they had dragged her inside it.

"First we started checking at the place where she was allegedly dragged into the Ecco car. All the CCTV footage checked by us didn't have any such car in it. The girl had taken an auto to reach Marve," said an officer. "We got the number of the autos in which she travelled from Charkop to Marve, and later from INS Hamla to Charkop. We brought the auto drivers to identify the girl," the officer added. The auto drivers identified the girl and said she had taken the ride alone.

She confessed
According to the technical analysis, the police found the girl was at Marve beach while she claimed that she was thrown out of the car near Aksa Beach. "All the claims made by the girl were cross-checked, and all appeared to be fake. We again started questioning the girl, and she confessed she did this to teach a friend a lesson," said another officer.
