A Bhadohi court has ordered a criminal case against 31 people for allegedly submitting fabricated affidavits to protect accused persons in a 2020 gangrape case, exposing a deep-rooted conspiracy to suppress the survivor's voice.

  • FIR filed against 31 named and unidentified persons on CJM's orders.
  • Accusations of forged affidavits used to protect gangrape suspects.
  • Severe negligence reported: No medical exam or statement recorded initially.

In a startling revelation of judicial interference, a court in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, has ordered the registration of a case against 31 individuals. The accused are alleged to have submitted forged and false affidavits to mislead the court and shield perpetrators in a 2020 gangrape case. The FIR was registered at the Unj police station following the direct orders of Chief Judicial Magistrate Anand Mishra.

The case dates back to 2020, when a 45-year-old laborer alleged that she was repeatedly raped inside her home by Manoj, Arvind, and five other men who threatened her with weapons. Despite the gravity of the crime, the initial police investigation was riddled with anomalies. According to Additional Superintendent of Police Shubham Agrawal, while a chargesheet was filed, the survivor's statement was never recorded, and a mandatory medical examination was skipped.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that this case highlights a systemic failure where the machinery intended to protect victims is instead utilized to shield criminals. The use of fabricated documents without advocate signatures indicates a brazen attempt to manipulate the legal process. This case serves as a warning that administrative collusion in sexual assault cases can lead to prolonged social trauma for the survivors.

"The submission of forged affidavits in a court of law is a direct assault on the integrity of the judicial system and warrants the highest level of prosecution."

During a subsequent investigation, the police allegedly relied on further fabricated evidence to file a closure report on October 30, 2021. This closure report not only denied justice but caused immense social humiliation for the victim and her children. However, the survivor's persistence led the court to record her statement under Section 200 of the IPC, where the court found prima facie merit in her allegations.

The current legal action was triggered on June 6, 2026, when the survivor returned to court alleging that officials had actively colluded with the accused. The resulting FIR now targets Rajpati Bind and 30 others for criminal conspiracy, cheating, and forgery.

Did You Know?: Forging a document to mislead a court is a serious offense known as forgery and fabrication of evidence, which can lead to several years of imprisonment under the Indian Penal Code.
