Calcutta High Court Directs Enquiry Against Complainants For Filing False POCSO Case Against Accused Who Spent Almost A Year Behind Bars

The Calcutta High Court directed an enquiry against a complainant and her daughter for filing a false POCSO case, which led to the wrongful imprisonment of three individuals for nearly a year. The court found that the false complaint was made under political pressure, and the complainant admitted to fabricating evidence. The court ordered the POCSO court in Murshidabad to investigate the matter and initiate criminal proceedings if necessary. This judgment underscores the severe consequences of filing false complaints and the importance of ensuring justice for the wrongfully accused.
