Irked over a false rape case lodged by a girl against a cop, a court here has directed the Delhi Police to take appropriate action against her for “putting the state machinery” against him.
Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Atul Kumar Garg acquitted Muzaffarnagar resident Subhash Chander Chaudhary, working as a constable in Delhi Police, against whom the complainant had lodged a false rape case last year.
“A copy of this judgement is sent to the DCP (South) with direction to take appropriate action against the complainant (girl) who had put the state machinery against the accused knowing very well that she was filing a false complaint. Action taken be intimated to this court within one month of the receipt of this judgement,” the judge said.
The court let off the accused after the girl, in her deposition during the trial, admitted that she had given a false complaint to the police against Chaudhary as she was angry with him.
The girl had in May last year given a complaint to an assistant commissioner of police here alleging that accused had married her in 2007 and had committed fraud because he was already married and was having two children in his village.
She had alleged that Chaudhary posed himself as unmarried and forced her to marry him despite the fact that he was already married and he raped her continuously.
She also alleged that Chaudhary was also involved in human trafficking and had stolen two vehicles from Arunachal Pradesh which he sold here.
After a probe into the case, the police filed charge sheet in the case, indicting the constable and the court subsequently framed charges against him in February this year.
During the trial, the girl told the court that she knew Chaudhary as they were friend and due to some misunderstanding between them, she lodged the complaint against him.
After her testimony, the court did not examine any other witnesses saying when the girl herself had not said anything substantial against the accused, no useful purpose would be served in examining others.
“There being no incriminating evidence available on judicial record, examination of accused is dispensed with. The accused is acquitted from the offence punishable under section 376 (rape) of the IPC,” the court said.
