Woman files RAPE case to coerce live-in partner to marry her

Have a look at these news article:
1) http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Jet-Airways-co-pilot-held-on-charges-of-raping-air-hostess-/articleshow/5989439.cms


Woman, an air-hostess by profession, goes for live-in with her partner, a pilot, for 1 year. Both work for same airlines Jet Airways.
The relation does not work out for some or the other reason, and then she cries RAPE!!!

Varun Agrawal (27) was arrested from the domestic airport at suburban Vile Parle on charges of raping the 22-year-old air-hostess, who was in a live-in relationship with him, police added. 

He was booked under sections 376 (rape), 420 (cheating), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation), they added.

This is a typical example of how a spate of false RAPE cases are filed in India. The accused is LABELED as GUILTY until proven innocent and the burden is on the accused to prove that he has not committed the crime.


Any sane person upon reading this news can easily make out that this is not a RAPE case but a consensual sex between two consenting adults.
Still, the morons in police not only register the case but also take the guy into custody!!!
Can here be any other motive than to extort money given that pilots are one of the highest earnings cadres in India ??


See again the role of media here. They openly shoot and air this poor chaps photos and videos on TV news channels and print.

Even legal experts are of the opinion that this is not a case of rape, whether pretext of marriage or cheating.

Special public prosecutor Rohini Salian said the complainant is an adult mature enough to decide that she wants to live-in with the pilot. Even if it is assumed that she succumbed to physical relationship under threat, why did she keep quiet for so long, Salian asked. “The police could have conducted an initial inquiry before lodging the FIR,” Salian said. “The facts and circumstance of the case suggest that the pilot should not have been booked for rape.”

Public prosecutor Satish Borulkar agreed saying intercourse with the promise of marriage cannot be rape. “The Supreme Court held in 2009 that sexual intercourse following promise of marriage cannot be construed as rape,” Borulkar said. “The consent is there, even if with a false promise.”

Doesn't this case highlights that our police have scant regards for Supreme Court rulings??
