Few days back, a 36 years old woman from Ghaziabad filed a police complaint alleging that she was gang-raped by five men.

But now, it turned out to be that the woman lied to frame the men as they have a running dispute over property, police claimed.

“She was with two of her friends for the two days — the duration for which she’d alleged she’d been kidnapped and raped by five men,” said Praveen Kumar, UP’s regional police chief, on Thursday.

The case gained prominence when the woman , who is a resident of Delhi was hospitalised at GTB hospital on Wednesday after Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal tweeted that the 36-year-old woman was found wrapped in a jute bag, with her hands and legs tied, and an iron rod inserted in her private parts.

Police had arrested four of the five men, filed a case, but mentioned the property dispute angle also.

She was first taken to a government hospital in Ghaziabad; then asked to move to Meerut; “but she refused to undergo medical examination at both the places”.

Upon her insistence, she was admitted to GTB Hospital in Delhi, police said.

But the doctors at Delhi’s GTB Hospital later denied that she had any internal injury.

Police said the mobile signal tracking showed that one of her friends had switched off his phone right at the spot where she was found, near Ashram Road that connects Ghaziabad with Delhi.

She had said she was kidnapped while waiting for a bus for Delhi after attending a birthday party in Ghaziabad. She had said, that five men in a car dragged her inside and raped her.

“The complaint was all a conspiracy hatched to file a rape case on the five men.
Evidence has also been found that one of them gave money to a person through PayTM to give more publicity to the rape case. That friend already has three criminal cases registered against him,” the police officer said.

There has been no immediate reaction from the victim’s side or by Swati Maliwal after the police claimed the rape case was made up by the woman.
