REPRESENTATION PIC
Recently, Pune was rocked by a so-called ‘rape case’ where a young woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by a courier. The rape complaint filed by a 22-year-old woman claimed that a courier arrived at her door, when she was alone saying he had to deliver some bank documents.
He allegedly then told her he had forgotten a pen, and when she went into the home to bring one, he slipped inside the house and locked the door. He then sprayed her face with a substance, which rendered her unconscious. He then allegedly raped her and when she came to her senses an hour later, he had left home. She then filed a complaint. Outrage followed this report, with locals shocked.
A day later, reports followed that the woman was continually changing her version of the incident, and this ‘courier’ or ‘delivery executive’ was actually a friend. Some say she did complain out of anger. Some reports state she wanted to portray Pune as being unsafe for women.
The biggest disservice to women is done by women who file false complaints alleging sexual molestation and rape. This sets back the system many years. It throws a shadow over genuine complaints. It makes people look at complaints through a cynical, questioning eye. As it is, even now with the tide turning, there are so many instances of women simply not being believed when they complain of assault.
Their versions are questioned. The time elapsed is questioned. Women are asked why they were at a certain place at a certain time. The list is endless.
Shameful false complaints, which also harm the accused hugely, are a crime. Those filing these falsities need to face the full force of the law after a thorough investigation.
Filing such complaints has huge ramifications which go beyond one case.
