A 28-year-old woman was today arrested for allegedly filing a fake gang rape complaint against a murder case witness and two others, police said.
She falsely implicated the 2013 murder case witness so that he couldn't testify before the court here.
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 this gangrape plot, the SSP said.
They took the help of the woman, a resident of Bhajanpura Khajuri in Delhi and Chand Parakash, the SSP said.
