A criminal case has been registered by the Delhi Police against the parents of a girl, who had on her own eloped with a youth, for giving false evidence in a court here that their daughter was kidnapped by four men.
An FIR was lodged against the parents following a court's order which found that they had deliberately furnished incorrect information to the police regarding their daughter's kidnapping even after knowing that it was false and had also deposed falsely on oath.
"The father and mother of the girl had also misled the investigating officer and tried to implicate persons...Who had no concern with the incident only because they were into a litigation with them earlier but also made false statements on oath in this regard before this court.
"This they did knowing that their daughter had voluntarily eloped with a man and was in contact with them on their mobile phone which information also they deliberately concealed from the IO," Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau said.
The court directed the SHO of Vijay Vihar Police Station to register the case for giving false evidence and other offences committed against public justice.
