The husband was arrested while his parents and other family members were granted anticipatory bail. The court acquitted the woman&#8217;s husband, parents-in-law, three brothers-in-law, two sisters-in-law of the offences under sections 498A (cruelty), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 376 (rape), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 354 (molestation) read with 34 (common intention) of IPC. It also noted that during pendency of the case, the woman had reached a settlement with the man and her in-laws. &#8220;She ultimately succeeded in getting divorce from her husband and also money towards her claims regarding maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>The fact remains that she had implicated all the accused falsely in this case by levelling baseless allegations upon them to serve her own ends,&#8221; the court said. The woman, in her complaint filed in 2014, had alleged that within a month of her marriage in February 2013, her husband and in-laws began physically torturing her and demanded dowry of Rs 10 lakh along with gold jewellery. She also alleged that her brothers-in-law and father-in-law committed unnatural sex with her and threatened her. However, during her cross-examination in the court, she resiled from the complaint made before the police, saying the allegations were incorrect and she levelled them under police&#8217;s pressure. &#8220;Since the prosecutrix has not supported the case of the prosecution and there being no other eyewitness to incident, it was found futile to carry on trial of case any further,&#8221; the court said. During the trial, the accused denied the allegations and claimed they were falsely implicated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man and his family members have been acquitted by a Delhi court of the charges of raping, molesting and threatening his wife, saying she lodged a false \u00a0rape case complaint to get rid of her &#8220;impotent&#8221;
