BAREILLY: A woman has accused two people of abducting and raping her at gun point in Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh allegedly to save her son who was booked in a case of kidnapping.

On the woman's complaint, a case was registered and the two men named in the FIR were arrested immediately, police said.

However, on sustained interrogation of the accused and cross-questioning of victim, it came to light that the woman's son was involved in abducting the minor daughter of one of the accused. "A case was pending against him and the woman's husband, along with three others, in the court and the verdict is expected shortly," SP, city, Rajeev Malhotra said.

He said the rape story was concocted by the woman to pressurize the family of one of the accused to withdraw the case against her son, who may face imprisonment once the court verdict is out.

The police are now planning to initiate criminal proceedings against the woman under Section 182 of the IPC for furnishing false facts and falsely implicating innocent persons, he added.
