Victim says, she was having a love affair with the man

Following retraction of allegations by the victim, a Delhi court has acquitted a man charged of raping her.

The victim had developed friendship with the accused a few months before the alleged rape.

On the day of the alleged incident on November 1 last year, accused Dorjee had called the victim for dinner at a hotel at Majnu Ka Tila.

The accused allegedly forced the victim to take liquor.

Then they dined together. Thereafter, the accused established physical relation with her without her consent, the woman said in her complaint to the Timarpur police.

However, in her evidence before the court she said that the accused had had sex with her consent as she was madly in love with him.

She also deposed that when the investigating agency took them to the police station, she had told them that she did not want any action against the accused and that she had made a call to the control room out of anger.

She further said that she did not know whether the police had registered an FIR. But she was under the impression that no action was being taken against the accused, she added.

In her statement under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code, she had said that “she was having a love affair with the accused. She is having relations with accused to the extreme that she is not having any relations with her husband.”

Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja acquitted the accused in view of the deposition by the victim.

“In the light of deposition by the prosecutrix, I find there is no material on record, whatsoever, for convicting the accused for the offence with which he was charged,” the Judge said acquitting Dorjee in the case.
