PUNE: Peeved at her boyfriend for not responding to her calls, a 24-year-old woman from
Latur resorted to tracking him down after furnishing a complaint letter to the police making out a false case of gangrape against him and his friends.
When he was tracked and brought to the police station the policemen realised the two were in love and wanted to marry.
In the absence of an FIR, the police let the woman go without any action. “We decided not to take any legal action on humanitarian grounds but the woman has certainly misused the police machinery,”
Kondhwa police’s senior inspector
Milind Gaikwad told TOI on Sunday. “The two got married on October 27,” he said.
Both the woman and the man hail from Latur and were in love. The man recently shifted to Pune in search of work while the woman knew that he was residing in Kondhwa.
On October 9, the woman reached Pune and decided to trace her boyfriend by approaching the Kondhwa police with a complaint letter claiming that she was “gangraped and assaulted” by the man, his brother and friends. The police then launched a search and tracked him down a week later.
The man told the police during questioning that he was in love with the woman but, had stopped talking to her as she used to keep sending too many text and online messages to him and he was fed up with it. He told police that he wanted to
marry her but was not aware about her arrival in Pune. The woman was taken to the police station to cross verify his claim. Later, they were let off by the police.
