What to do if i have been accused of false rape charges


11-Jul-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Rape FIR filed by lady in September 2016 stating that she was raped by a person in June 2010. He clicked some objectionable photos of her and through blackmail continued to rape her. He also forced her to have physical relation with his friends and business partner in Jan & Feb 2012. She does not know them but can identify them. The lady did not mention my name in FIR but in statement under Section 164 before magistrate the next day, she stated that in Jan and Feb 2012, I was one one of the business friends. The truth is I have never met the lady. The police have filed the chargesheet and have included my name in it. In the chargesheet, the police have mentioned that I had accepted my crime and then they arrested me (I had taken bail and it was paper arrest, with bail bond). What should be my defence?

That is if you don't have any relation with the lady then on what grounds police has arrested you. And how can the police officials stated your name in the chargesheet until and unless if there is any sort of evidence on your part. You can file a defamation case against that lady who is exploiting you unnecessarily without any sort of proofs or evidence. The case is not maintainable on the part of the lady. For further clarification contact me.

hi the answer to you query is, that you had just taken bail, and the trial has just started , this is the right ti me for you to take appropriate acction to save yourself, chargesheet has been filed and now the first fight will be whether the charge is made out against you or not and that can be only made out by breaking the charge sheet. and then the arguments have to be addressed that how the charge is not made out agianst you. very pivotal /crucial stage for you to act
