We are living in sad times, where the term Rape is being misused for every possible motive. A woman who wants to settle score with Men in power or after a failed consensual relationship, misuse this law, and media uses such cases to their best advantage for higher TRPs. In most cases, reporters are fully aware of the facts on record, however, they deliberately show you only one side of the story.

Result? Men who get trapped in false rape cases, either try to go underground, escape the country, bribe the system (despite not having committed the crime)…….and do everything possible to not be labelled as Rapist by Media or Social Media. One such case from Uttarakhand gets reported where a minor issue which can happen in any of our homes, led to a series of harassment and embarrassment for a businessman’s family.

Case:

A maid who worked in a joint family in Dehradun, was promised a salary hike by the son of the house

However, when the commitment was not kept, the maid raised this issue with the father

Several arguments followed and father happened to slap the girl

This is totally condemnable and wrong

After her tenure came to an end, she returned to the Delhi to her agency who were in the business of supplying maids across India

This agency had an arrangement with one of the Women’s Rights NGO and the girl was sent there

Allegedly, the NGO tutored her to file a rape case on the father-son duo

The NGO and the girl then joined hands and subsequently a case of Rape was registered in Doon

Father- Son duo, who happened to be influential businessmen, escaped as soon as case was filed

Later with help of some middlemen, they cut a deal with the judge, who too agreed to release them on bail in lieu of Rs 30 Lakhs bribe, which was duly paid by them

However, the motormouth duo shared the information of this deal with someone, who went and informed the judge about the same

The Father-Son duo surrendered before police, assuming there were now safe

The day when bail application came up for hearing, the judge changed sides and refused to grant them one

The duo on the other hand, protested their bail and also went to the extent of revealing about the deal with the judge

This is when the judge sent them to jail instantly

Left with no option now since they were already jailed, the father-son duo then tried reaching out to the NGO, Maid Agency and the girl

A deal was struck between all of them to pay Rs 12 Lakhs to the NGO

Apparently, this NGO and agency used to work in tandem with each other on many other such cases

The money was to be paid at Roorkee

In the interim, someone also tipped off police about the deal

The Police staff working on the case was already annoyed, as they were not a part of the arrangement and were not getting anything

So the police followed the relatives of the duo to Roorkee and apprehended all of them red handed as money was changing hands

After this, the entire case became extremely complicated with everyone from the rape accused to the alleged rape victim, to the NGO and agency people who were fronting the rape case

All of them together landed up in the same jail

Status As Of Today

The father- son duo are now out of jail and so are the alleged rape victim, NGO and the agency who helped her file false rape case. Reportedly father-son duo who wanted to save a few thousands annually as maid increment, had to shell out a whopping Rs 1.3 crores to settle the entire mess.

Our Take:

This matter is extremely serious for both men and women, as such a situation can arise in any of our homes, if we disagree with our maids at any point in time

Let’s say there was no commitment of giving her a raise, yet the woman could have used similar blackmailing tactics to ensure she got what she wanted

We often feel hiring maids from registered agencies is advisable, however, after reading this case, one must be alert and possibly even have a written contract with the maid and agency year-on-year

For any reason, if the Men of the house are still falling prey to false cases, do not panic or try to escape

If you are not in the wrong, it is better to undergo a proper examination as per due police process, to clear your name from such frivolous cases

Yes, at times the medical reports too can be manipulated, however, truth will triumph with facts if you haven’t done anything wrong
