Madhya Pradesh High Court Orders Action Against Woman for False Rape Allegation on Senior Advocate

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ordered strict penal action against a woman who falsely accused a Senior Advocate of breaking into her house at night and raping her two-year-old daughter.

Justice Vishal Mishra quashed the FIR after finding that call records and CCTV footage disproved the allegations.

The Court noted that the woman had repeatedly filed false complaints to blackmail people or settle personal scores.

Directing the SP, Rewa to act immediately, the Bench invoked Section 22(1) of the POCSO Act and Sections 240 and 248 of BNS, 2023 for making false complaints.
