Woman asked to pay Rs 1.25L for implicating dalit in rape case
JABALPUR:
Falsely implicated in a rape case and proved innocent later, Ramlal
Akhande, a 32-year-old primary school teacher from Paretha, Burhanpur
could be the first dalit male to receive compensation under the
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (prevention of atrocities) Act 1989
in a rape frame up.
Akhande got richer by Rs 1.25 lakh last
week after a DNA report of the complainant Vaijyanti Yaduvanshi turned
out to be negative bellying the allegations. The false charge, according
to the police was intended to mount pressure on Akhande by the woman
whose husband is serving a life sentence for raping his 14 year-old
niece five months ago.
Meanwhile, the police has registered a
case under SC/ST Act 3 (2) (2) and 3 (1) (9) and section 182, 211 and
195 of the Indian Penal Code against Vajyanati and her two accomplices.
Her conviction would mean an additional sum of Rs 1.25 lakh to Akhande,
superintendent of police (SP) Burhanpur Avinash Sharma told TOI http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhopal/Woman-asked-to-pay-Rs-1-25L-for-implicating-dalit-in-rape-case/articleshow/20039860.cms
