A 42-year-old married woman belonging to Deruka village under Sundargarh district’s Mahulpada police station is alleged to have put some youths of her village in trouble by making false rape charges against them.
Acting on her complaint, while the Mahulpada police have already arrested and court-forwarded one of the three youths against whom she levelled false charges, villagers recently lodged a complaint with the police that the woman is harassing villagers by bringing false allegations against them.
The police are now contemplating to take action against the woman.
According to the woman’s complaint, one lalit Mohan Mahakud had raped her on May 23.
While lalit was arrested, his wife lodged an FIR on July 11 alleging that the complainant woman’s husband threatened to kill her. Following which the police arrested the woman’s husband and forwarded to court. He was released on bail recently.
Again on November 27 night, the woman along with her husband lodged a complaint in the Mahulpada PS that one Tuna Mahakuda (30) of her village had raped her on April 10 and Tuna’s brother Guru Mahakud (29) raped her May 16.
Police soon registered a case and started investigation. During the investigation, the police found that the woman had levelled false allegations against two brothers as they were not present in the village on the alleged happening days.
Recently, some villagers went to the police station and in a written complaint said the woman and her husband are not friendly to the villagers and, hence, have been making false allegations against villagers at different times.
“It has been proved that the allegations made against the two brothers are absolutely false. We will take action against the woman for lodging false complaints,” said OIC A Gardia.
