SSB rape false case: cops

The medical examination of the four victims has already failed to establish rape, he said.

The police had traced the robbers by keeping surveillance on Hamid8217;s cellphone, which they had taken away that night along with clothes and some silver jewellery. All of these have been recovered from the arrested miscreants, he said.

The SP also said Babu Khan of Fatehpur Bangai village, where the incident took pace, had tipped off his associates to target Hamid8217;s house on November 24.

Besides Babu, the police arrested Taj Khan and She Mohammad alias Shera of Lakhimpur Kheri district. The accused confessed to the crime, the SP said.

The Deputy Inspector General of SSB, Anil Agrawal said their internal inquiry too had found the rape allegation false, as none of them had visited the area of Malhipur for past several days.
