What Happens When a Woman Files a False Case Against a Man?
Most people may not know that popular Bengali actress Swastika Mukherjee once falsely accused her ex-husband of dowry harassment.
In September last year, Swastika confessed in a media conference that the allegations she made against her estranged husband, Promit Sen, were false. This brought an end to a case that had lasted for ten years.
“I was young and didn’t have enough sense back then. I did what my family, friends, and peers advised me to do,” Swastika explained, referring to why she falsely accused Promit Sen of “subjecting her to cruelty” and “criminal breach of trust.”
Promit’s elder brother, Pritam Sen, shared the family’s ordeal, “Things started to go wrong about two years later when my brother, our family, and even I, who all lived in different places, were charged by her for dowry-related crimes.”
“We went through hell for the past ten years. There were so many arrest warrants, expenses, and the defamation. My brother will never get back the last ten years. He’s totally mentally devastated,” he added.
Swastika and Promit, who is a popular singer, got married in 1998 when Swastika was just 18.
When asked what drove her to confess, Swastika replied that it was not due to any pressure but a “realisation.” She said, “I am deeply sorry for all that Promit and his family had to go through. I hope he can move on. As for the custody of our daughter Anwesha, let’s see what happens. She’s ten years old and has a say in this too.”
Pritam mentioned that the family was pleased with Swastika’s confession. He said, “I think we should give her the benefit of the doubt. Let’s see what this leads to. But we’ll not accept anything but a genuine apology.”
So, what happens to a woman who files a false case against a man? In this instance, it seems the answer is nothing.
