UP Lawyer Gets Life for Filing False Rape Cases
An advocate named Parmanand Gupta was found guilty of making up false rape cases.
He used the SC/ST Act, which is meant to protect people from discrimination, to file these fake complaints and harass people.
He worked with a woman who made the false claims.
The court sent him to jail for life.
The woman was let go because she said she was tricked.
The court also told the Bar Council to stop Gupta from working as a lawyer.
The court wants to make sure this doesn't happen again, so they are being careful about checking complaints.
Advocate Parmanand Gupta was sentenced to life imprisonment for filing false rape cases.
Gupta misused the SC/ST Act to target opponents with fabricated complaints.
The court acquitted the woman involved after she admitted to being misled.
Gupta was convicted under BNS 248, 217, and SC/ST Act section 3(2)(5).
The court ordered the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh to prevent Gupta from court entry.
