Burewala (HRNW): Police at Sahuoka Police Station have registered separate cases under the Anti-Rape Act against two women after they allegedly retracted their earlier statements in cases involving allegations of rape.
According to police, both women had initially filed cases concerning alleged rape incidents but later withdrew from their previous positions and statements.
Police said that after completing the required legal process, separate cases were registered against the two women under the relevant provisions of the Anti-Rape Act, and further investigation is underway.
Human Rights Perspective
In cases involving sexual violence, statements, evidence and investigative procedures must be assessed through a fair, transparent and impartial legal process. Where statements are alleged to be false or contradictory, any legal action should also be based on evidence and due process, while ensuring that the rights of all parties are protected.
