After thorough investigation duly supervised by ADGP, Crime, it was found that the complainant had falsely implicated the accused persons due to political rivalry and accordingly no offence was made out against the petitioners. Noticeably, the prosecutrix also appeared in person before the Human Rights Commission and made a statement that she was not interested in pursuing the complaint filed by her and sought its dismissal.
