Ghaziabad 'kidnap, gangrape' case a fake complaint over property dispute: UP police

A case of alleged gangrape in Ghaziabad has turned out to be a false allegation by the woman. Uttar Pradesh police said this on 20 October 2022, according to NDTV.

The recent case had shocked the national capital region (NCR) as it had been claimed that the woman was found wrapped in a jute bag with her hands and legs tied. She had claimed to have been kidnapped and gangraped by 5 men who had also inserted iron rods in her private parts.

Following the complaint, cops had arrested 4 of the 5 men named by her.

UP police said that for the two days that the woman claimed to have been gangraped, she was actually staying with two friends. Cops called it a conspiracy to frame the five men due to a property dispute.

Three of the woman's associates have reportedly been detained. One of them is accused of paying someone off for "more publicity" of the rape case.

The 36-year-old woman was found on 19 October and taken to government hospitals in Ghaziabad and Meerut, but reportedly refused to undergo medical examinations. She was later taken to GTB hospital in Delhi.
