After finding no connection between the girl’s initial statement and scientific evidence like cell phone tower records of suspects, the police questioned the girl for the third time when she finally confessed to having fabricated the entire story and even created a rape scene to mislead the police and implicate the accused auto driver, in a bid to exact revenge over a past incident where the two of them had an altercation, the report said. “While she made a huge mistake by cooking up a story, the aftermath of the situation for her as well as her family could have much better had the case been handled sensitively, both by police and media,” the report quoted a close relative of the deceased as saying.
