Devendra Fadnavis felicitates Pune police teams whose probe swiftly exposed false rape allegation by IT professional
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar Friday felicitated the police teams whose investigation had recently revealed that a rape case filed by a 22-year-old IT professional woman in Pune was false. Fadnavis and Pawar were at the Pune police headquarters in Shivajinagar for the inauguration of various projects when they felicitated the teams of Kondhwa police and the Crime Branch of Pune City police that had investigated the case. According to the police, the woman had stated in her complaint that she was raped by a man posing as a courier delivery executive who had come to her home to deliver bank documents when she was alone at around 7.30 pm on July 2. The woman had alleged that the executive asked her to get a pen but he then barged into the house and raped her after spraying a substance on her face which left her unconscious. She had also claimed that the man took a selfie on her phone before she regained consciousness and had left a threatening message on it, saying that he would return. The police said that with the help of the crime branch, they nabbed the suspect within 24 hours after checking footage from around 500 CCTV cameras and probing the call data records of hundreds of mobile phones. The probe revealed that the suspect was not a delivery executive but a 25-year-old man known to the complainant. The police also confirmed that he did not enter her house forcibly or spray any substance on her. The probe also found that the selfie on the woman's phone was taken with her consent and she had herself had edited the threat message on it. Subsequently, the police registered a non-cognisable offence against the woman under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 212 (furnishing false information), 217 (false information, with intent to cause public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another person) and 228 (fabricating false evidence). Ajit Pawar, the Guardian Minister of Pune, said, '….It happens that some incidents take place, but without gathering full knowledge about the incidents, the government and police are defamed widely for it. But after a few hours, it is known that the facts were something different. This case is an example….' He then urged the people to believe that the Mahayuti government under the leadership of Fadnavis was committed to maintaining the law and order situation in the state in such a manner that the common people would feel secure and live peacefully. 'The Mahayuti government has sanctioned Rs 22,000 crore for the District Planning Committee (DPC), of which five per cent is reserved for the police department,' he said. Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil was also present on the occasion along with Director General of Police Rashmi Shukla, Pune City Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar, and other police officers.
