Criminal Appeal No.264 of 2017
False charges.- False charges of rape are not uncommon in India.
Occasionally parents may introduce chillies into the vagina of their
female child to cause irritation and inflammation or may injure her
genitals for the purpose of substantiating a false charge of rape brought
against an individual with a view to taking revenge or extorting money
from him, and may tutor their child to tell a circumstantial story of a
rape. Modi saw a case in which the father thrust his thumb into the
vagina of his daughter, six years old, in order to bring a false charge of
rape against his neighbour who was his enemy, and lacerated the
posterior part of the hymen, the posterior part of the vagina and the
posterior commissure. At times parents inflict injuries on the private
parts of their female child, and then kill her by strangulation or
suffocation in order to bring a false accusation of rape and murder
against their enemy. If necessary X-rays should be taken to ascertain
age."
