In Gurugram, Haryana, India, police have charged a 29-year-old woman from Birganj, Nepal, for allegedly making a false rape accusation against her employer following a payment dispute. The incident occurred on Monday night when the woman, employed as a cook through a mobile app, reported to the police that she had been sexually assaulted at the employer's residence in Sector 47. However, upon investigation, authorities determined that her claims were unfounded and stemmed from a disagreement over payment for her services. Police spokesperson Sandeep Turan stated that the woman, who resides in Sector 37, was booked under Section 217 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which pertains to providing false information to the police. This offense carries a penalty of up to one year in prison or a fine of ₹10,000 (approximately $120 USD). The police urged the public to refrain from making false reports, as such actions disrupt emergency services and hinder genuine cases from receiving timely assistance.
