New Delhi: A Delhi court has initiated prosecution against a model for falsely implicating her brother-in-law in a rape case saying it will be "failing in its duty if she is let off without punishment for giving false evidence".

Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat, while acquitting the man of charges of rape and criminal intimidation, said, the scrutiny of the woman's testimony and evidence revealed that there was no truth in her allegations of rape against the accused.
