Rajasthan woman lodges false case of rape of seven-year-old daughter by neighbour over land dispute, fined
After finding the rape allegation to be false, the police submitted a final report before the court, which was accepted on July 8, 2025.
A woman from Rajasthan was fined ₹5,000 by a special POCSO court for filing a false rape allegation against her neighbour. The incident, registered on September 26, 2024, involved the accused claiming her seven-year-old daughter was raped by the neighbour after a land dispute. The police conducted an investigation, but the minor denied the allegations and stated that the families had a disagreement over land and cattle grazing.
The court accepted the police's final report on July 8, 2025, and found the woman guilty of using her minor daughter to file a false case with the intention of defamation and pressure. Considering her elderly age, illiteracy, and rural background, the court imposed a fine of ₹5,000 on her.
