New Delhi, June 28: A woman and her mother have been ticked off by a Delhi court for their ''habit'' of lodging false rape cases with ulterior motives, including those for grabbing property.

The court, while acquitting a man accused of raping the woman, observed that she and her mother had earlier too lodged several cases of rape, some of which have already been found to be false.

The judgement came after the woman admitted during her cross-examination that she had lodged the false case and had deposed before the police "at the instance and in connivance" with her mother, who had developed a "grudge" against the accused, who ran a shop.

"...All these circumstances are making it evident that neither prosecutrix nor her mother has any regard for the truth and they seem to be in the habit of getting false cases registered either with a view to grab the property of other persons or for carrying out some other illegal design in their minds, best known to them," Additional Sessions Judge Rakesh Tiwari said.

"In view of my aforesaid discussion, the prosecution has miserably failed to bring home the guilt of the accused from any point of view and hence the accused is acquitted of the charges under section 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC," the judge added.

The court in its judgements noted the statement made by the complainant during her cross-examination in which she admitted that her mother had earlier lodged a false case of rape against a woman school teacher and a man.

The court noted that the complainant had admitted that her mother was annoyed with the lady teacher and the accused man as they were not supporting their claim over a plot of land and for this reason her mother told her to lodge a complaint of rape against them.

Later she even apologised to the teacher and the man for lodging a false case of rape against them, the court pointed out.

The court said the complainant woman also admitted that she had lodged the case in hand at her mother's instant as the shopkeeper had asked them to leave the village, saying that the dubious people were visiting them and they were "indulging in bad acts."


The police had lodged the FIR in September 2008 when the complainant woman had deposed that she was raped by him.

Jun 25: A 16-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide at her house in east Delhi and her family members secretly buried her body, which was later exhumed for post-mortem, police said on Wednesday.

The girl, whose family hails from Jharkhand, allegedly hanged herself in a room in her house on Monday, they said.

No suicide note was recovered from the spot, police said.

Her body was exhumed on Tuesday as per the directions of the Sub Divisional Magistrate of the area. The process was carried out as her family members secretly buried her without informing the police.

The post-mortem will be conducted after Covid-19 tests, police said.

The incident took place on Monday. The reason behind her taking the extreme step is yet to be ascertained, they said.

Police said the girl lived with her mother and two siblings. The family hails from Jharkhand and are financially extremely weak. Her father died two years ago, they said.

After the father’s death, the girl's mother along with her siblings took her body to a burial ground and buried her, police said.

The police said the matter came to their notice after a neighbour alerted them about it. Following the information the body was exhumed, they said.

On questioning the girl's mother, she told police that she didn't know that one has to inform police in a suicide case, a senior police officer said.

Inquest proceedings have been initiated, police said.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.
