SSP DC Dubey said after investigation it has been confirmed that there was no such case of gang rape with the woman.
Najakat, the accused in the murder case under Brahmpuri police station, is in jail. He and his friend Margub Ali wanted the prosecution witness, Salman alias Jawed, to desist from making statement against him in the court, the SSP said.
But when Salman did not comply they allegedly made up this gangrape plot, the SSP said.
They took the help of the woman, a resident of Bhajanpura Khajuri in Delhi and Chand Prakash, the SSP said.
As per the plan, the woman acted as victim and Prakash her brother.
According to the woman’s complaint, Salman made her consume ‘lassi’ after which she started to lose consciousness.
She said that she found herself in the hospital bed when she regained senses.
She then accused Salman and two of his other friends of raping her, the SSP said. -- PTI
