A 20-year-old woman in Mumbai alleged that she was gang-raped in a moving car as it was driven to Madh Island by four men and later thrown out. The accusation was one of many in the backdrop of the government bringing in tougher laws against rape in the aftermath of the Nirbhaya case.

Now, these accusations have turned out to be bogus. It has been revealed that the girl simply concocted a story because she wanted to exact revenge on a friend, who had abused her mother, by having him harassed by the police.
