The Supreme Court has granted protection to a 29-year-old man named Paras, who was accused of rape by his ex-wife. Paras, who had converted to Islam to marry his Muslim wife in April 2019, faced serious allegations, including being accused of attempting to force her into prostitution and blackmailing her with explicit photos.
Paras and his ex-wife had initially sought protection from the Rajasthan High Court in May 2019, citing threats from her family. However, their relationship deteriorated, leading to their divorce in July 2019. Nearly four years later, in April 2023, the woman filed an FIR against Paras, accusing him of rape and other serious charges.
Paras approached several courts seeking relief before finally securing protection from the Supreme Court, which issued a notice and ordered not to arrest him immediately. His plea argued that the FIR was filed with a delay of four years, which raised questions about its legitimacy. The plea also stated that the FIR was meant to harass and extort money from Paras.
His lawyer argued that despite the allegations of incidents occurring between April 2019 and March 2023, during that period, the woman had sought protection from her own family through the Rajasthan High Court. The plea emphasized that Paras had married his ex-wife knowing about her involvement in sex work, but after marriage, she continued with her lifestyle, leading to their separation.
Paras claimed that the accusations were baseless and an attempt to tarnish his reputation and extort money. The plea further argued that neither the complainant nor the prosecution could provide any witness or evidence to support the allegations against Paras.
The Supreme Court’s decision to grant protection highlights the importance of examining the timing and intent behind such serious accusations.
