In a shocking incident reported from the national capital, a 14-year-old girl allegedly cooked up a fake molestation story in order to avoid being scolded by her parents as she got poor marks in her exams.
In a shocking and heartbreaking turn of events, a 14-year-old girl studying in Class 10th in the national capital turned to self-harm and false allegations to divert her parents’ attention from her poor performance in an examination. With her academic performance falling short of expectations, the young girl felt the weight of societal expectations and feared disappointing her parents.
Desperate for a way out, the girl cut herself with a blade and concocted a story of molestation by two to three unknown boys. Her parents, outraged and concerned for their daughter’s safety, filed a complaint with the police, leading to a full-scale investigation of the alleged incident.
However, as the police reviewed CCTV footage near the supposed crime scene, they found no evidence of the incident taking place. Eventually, the truth came out when the girl revealed that she had harmed herself and falsely accused the boys out of fear of disappointing her parents.
After the girl confessed to concocting the story, she was produced before the magistrate, and the case was ultimately nullified and canceled.
The Facts of the Matter
The act of concocting false sexual allegations against someone who is innocent is a despicable and damaging act that can ruin lives and reputations. Unfortunately, such false allegations are not uncommon, and they can have serious and long-lasting consequences for the falsely accused.
In one such incident, a 14-year-old girl in Delhi recently cooked up a fake molestation story, cut herself with a blade, and had a case registered – all in a desperate bid to avoid being scolded by her parents over her bad performance in exam.
