Ajmer court fines woman for false rape case against neighbour
A woman in Rajasthan told the police that her neighbour hurt her seven-year-old daughter.
She said it happened when her daughter was watching over a field.
The police started looking into her complaint.
But when they asked the little girl, she said it did not happen.
Everyone found out the two families were fighting over land and cattle.
The woman had made up the story to get the neighbour in trouble.
A special court in Ajmer checked all the facts and agreed the complaint was false.
The court decided the woman must pay a fine of Rs 5,000.
The court was a little kind because she was old, could not read or write, and lived in a village.
Lodging a false case is against the law and can get you punished.
A special POCSO court in Ajmer fined a woman Rs 5,000 for lodging a false rape case against her neighbour.
The woman alleged her seven-year-old daughter was raped by the neighbour while guarding a field.
During the investigation, the minor denied the incident and said the families had a dispute over land and cattle grazing.
The case was registered on September 26, 2024, in the Bhinay police station area, and the court accepted the police final report on July 8, 2025.
The court found the woman used her minor daughter to defame and pressure the neighbour, but considered her elderly, illiterate, and rural background in imposing only a fine.
