Indore’s teen tried to fool the police with a fake rape case

In January 2021, a rape case was registered by Indore police when 19- year girl alleged that she was abducted and gang-raped by five men and was dumped on a railway track. A tenant in the house she lived in, who was a 25-year-old male, was detained by the police when in her statement she stated that he was one of the culprits. The girl kept changing her statement throughout the investigation and after much probing, she along with her live-in partner revealed that they concocted the story. She had previously been involved in a similar case and had gotten a compensation of Rs 2 lakh from the government so it is quite possible that she hatched the false plan in order to earn some more money.
