Woman Jailed for Giving False Evidence in Rape Case, Innocent Man Freed

BAREILLY: An additional district court in Bareilly sentenced a woman under Section 195 of the IPC for giving false evidence and turning hostile in a rape and confinement case. ADJ Gyanendra Tripathi sentenced her to 1,653 days in jail and fined her Rs 5.9 lakh on Saturday evening.

The court stated, “Due to the survivor/accused’s false statement, an innocent man spent 1,653 days (4 years, 6 months, and 8 days) in jail. The government and judiciary ensure strict action in women-related complaints, but this does not mean that women who intend to misuse the law will be allowed to impact men’s rights.”

Additional district government counsel Suneel Pandey revealed details to TOI, stating, “Ajay was booked under sections for wrongful confinement, rape, and the Pocso Act based on the girl’s mother’s complaint. The girl initially testified that she had been sedated, confined, and raped by Ajay in Delhi. After four years, she changed her statement, declaring Ajay innocent. The sessions court then booked her under Section 195 of IPC, indicating that she changed her statement for money.”
