However, a concerning tendency has emerged at the same time: an increase in bogus or fake claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A study which was conducted by the Delhi Commission for Women in 2014 revealed that more than 53% of rape cases reported in Delhi from April 2013 to July 2014 were deemed false or unsubstantiated which was a serious concern issue. A significant number of these cases included claims made under the guise of a false promise of marriage or were used as instruments for revenge, extortion, or due to family coercion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignfull has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile has-background\" style=\"background-color:#cbcbcb\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>Need A Legal Advice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-extra-small-font-size\">The internet is not a lawyer and neither are you.

State of Haryana (2021)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the petitioners were accused of blackmailing a man by threatening to file a false rape case unless he paid \u20b920 lakhs. The petitioners had allegedly recorded a private video and used it for extortion. The court recognized this as a racket of habitual blackmailers and took a firm stand against such misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jagmohini v. State (GNCT of Delhi)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court observed that a large number of FIRs under <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadindia.law\/bnss-section-376-procedure-where-prisoner-of-unsound-mind-is-reported-capable-of-making-his-defence\">Section 376 BNSS<\/a><\/strong> are being filed with absurd or illogical narratives, raising serious concerns about the credibility of the complainant and the intent behind such cases. The Court also emphasized that there should be consequences for those who make such serious false accusations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recent Delhi High Court Observations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In several cases, the Delhi High Court has noted that rape laws are being weaponized to arm-twist the accused, especially in disputes involving money, property, or relationship fallouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal Definition of Rape Under Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadindia.law\/bns-section-63-rape\">Section 63 of the BNS<\/a><\/strong> defines rape and outlines the circumstances under which sexual activity is considered non-consensual or illegal.

As a result, real victims may sometimes be viewed with suspicion or seen as vague in their claims, leading to a lack of trust in their credibility. While laws exist to ensure justice for ture survivors, they should not be misused as tools for personal vendetta like other fake victims.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are falsely accused, act swiftly, seek legal counsel, and follow due legal remedies. The judiciary has shown awareness and willingness to protect the innocent, provided the case is properly defended with facts and documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadindia.law\/talk-to-lawyer\">talk to lawyers<\/a><\/strong> from Lead India for any kind of legal support.
