“A case under sections 420 (criminal breach of trust, cheating), 467, 468 and 471 (forgery), 195 (giving or fabricating false evidence with intent to procure conviction), 34 (common intention) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC and Section 7 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act was registered against her,” circle officer Alok Dubey told TOI.
Police said she had come to court to record her statement before a magistrate in the complaint that was initially filed by her. “After getting discharged from hospital, she had come to Ghaziabad court and was later arrested,” Dubey added.
“She came to GTB Hospital on October 18 at 7am and an MLC (medico-legal case) was made. Her vitals were stable. She was investigated and treated as per hospital protocols and all formalities were completed. She was discharged on Saturday,” a spokesperson for the hospital said on Saturday.
Hospital sources had earlier said she had a few external injuries but no internal ones.
The woman, who was found on Ashram Road in Raj Nagar Extension in the early hours of October 18, had alleged she was sexually assaulted in captivity over two days in a house in Ghaziabad by five men who, she claimed, had kidnapped her at gunpoint in a Scorpio on the night of October 16 from the same road.
But two days later, police said their investigation found that the woman was, in fact, in her house in Delhi during the period she alleged she was held captive.
Police also said the Scorpio she had referred to was seen in CCTV footage on Delhi roads, and not in Ghaziabad during that period.
Three of the woman’s associates, including her friend Azad, were later arrested for allegedly helping her stage the abduction and charged with fabrication of evidence.
Police have yet to comment on the object that was extracted from her private parts, which indicated violent sexual assault, but have said it wasn’t found during a medical examination of her at MMG District Hospital in Ghaziabad, where she was taken by them before she went to GTB Hospital.
