She had also alleged that her aunt had abetted her rape.<\/p>\n<p>The court, however, noted that the girl did not support the allegations made in her police complaint and a magistrate.<\/p>\n<p>The girl deposed in the court on April 27, 2013 that she was beaten up by her aunt and she had informed about it to one person on phone who had asked her to lodged a false FIR against the three relatives.<\/p>\n<p>She accepted in the court that she had lodged a false rape case against her relatives at the instance of that person, saying she was neither wrongfully restrained, nor was she raped.<\/p>\n<p>The court said the girl&#8217;s evidence did not support any of the charges and she was tutored by that person to make a false complaint against the accused.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is proved on record that no such offence ever took place with which accused persons have been charged in this case. The refusal of medical examination by the child victim also supports the fact that the allegations were false and that is why she had refused to undergo medical examination,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Delhi court has said it cannot prosecute a minor girl for lodging false rape case against her relatives due to a bar in the law for protection of children from sexual offences.
