hi all ,
one of my known is an owner of takeaway food joint for years(since 17) . he was young man 21 years old .Around 11 pm in night he was suppose to take his bus from a nearby bus stand (not oftenly ) .That day a girl came running to him ,tearoff her clothes in front of her and a constable caught him for molestation under 509c and had beaten him on the road and then arrested him.He took rs 25000/- to not register any FIR against him and kept him under arrest for 3 days.
Now we came to know that this girl and the constable are in partnership for falsely accusing people on road as there has been two or more cases with the same girl, same constable and same time. The accused were generally middle class gentle people with reputation and established work. He also threatened them to charge them for rape.
Is there any way to defend yourself via law such that this incident does not happen to ownself ?
How can a man defend himself against false rape ? any laws or proofs needed to support ?
