False Rape Case Gangs Of Women Extorting Money Across Multiple States: P&H High Court Suggests National Database To Track Habitual Complainants
The Punjab & Haryana High Court suggested creating a national-level database to help law-enforcement agencies identify persons who repeatedly file sexual-offence complaints across different States. The observation came while granting bail to a woman accused of participating in an alleged racket involving multiple rape complaints and extortion. The Court highlighted the difficulty police may face in detecting a pattern when complaints are registered in different jurisdictions. The proposal is aimed at helping investigators identify repeat complaints while ensuring that genuine victims continue to receive legal protection.
