Baripada: In a twist to the recent gangrape allegation made by a young woman in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj, police have termed the case as false and fabricated as part of a conspiracy
The woman in her complaint had alleged that five men sexually assaulted her on the Udala-Balasore State Highway on August 29 after luring her with the promise of a job. Based on her complaint, a case was registered at Udala police station.
However, police said that investigations showed false allegation was orchestrated by some distant relatives of the woman and her mother in a larger conspiracy.

The probe further revealed that two persons currently lodged in Baripada Jail in connection with separate cases, hatched the plot in a calculated attempt to falsely implicate the complainants involved in their respective cases.

The woman also confessed that she had lodged a false complaint at the behest of others.
