Delhi’s Rape Conviction Rate is Low Due to False Complaints

Delhi’s Rape Conviction Rate is Low Due to False Complaints

Imagine people are falsely accusing others of very serious crimes like rape.

In Delhi, only a few of these cases end with the accused being found guilty.

Many times, the person who made the complaint changes their story or it turns out the complaint isn't true.

This wastes time, money and can make it harder to help people who really need it.

Some women are making multiple false accusations, and judges and experts are worried.

The government pays money to some victims, but some people think those who file false claims should face consequences.

The system needs to find better ways to handle real cases and stop fake ones from causing problems.
