Rajasthan: Women commission assures to take action against fake cases

JAIPUR: Chairperson of Rajasthan state commission for women Rehana Rayaz Chisti on Tuesday said action will be taken in 60 cases that were found to be fake after probe. The commission has found that over 400 fake cases were registered this year and action will be taken in all cases gradually.
Chisti said, "Since February, we have solved and identified 418 fake cases that were registered over different reasons like personal enmity, to take money from the man's family or some other reason. We have selected 60 such cases and are writing to SPs to act against those who filed false cases. This will set a precedent in society and there should be no injustice to anyone."
She said that action will be taken under Section 182 and 211 of Indian Penal Code in these fake cases. "The men or parties accused in these false cases also have families who go through a lot of trouble and the women in the family mostly bear the brunt of it which we want to stop."
Officials said that since February, the commission has received 3,618 complaints of which 1,275 have been solved and 2,343 cases are pending. From last year, 1,821 cases were also solved this year, added officials.
Meanwhile, after the Bhilwara incident, the commission decided to start monthly visits to districts in tribal areas to identify such issues.
Officials said, the first visit will start from Udaipur division in the third week of November. These visits will be conducted in the second week of every month where a delegation will first meet the district administration and then locals, NGOs working on those issues to have a better understanding.
