A few days ago, in an incident at Mohanganj Police Station in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, a video circulated, claiming that a rape accused was released without the victim’s medical test report. Allegedly, @RajeshR57419427, a main Twitter account, spread this misleading information. However, the following investigations revealed a different story.

The Incident and Source
According to sources, a scuffle occurred between two parties over a cow consuming fodder. The dispute arose when one party claimed that the other party’s cow had eaten their animals’ fodder. In addition, the police swiftly interfered to maintain peace and took preventive action. Contrary to the initial claims made in the video of rape and police failure, the accusations were proven false and baseless, clarified Amethi Police through an official tweet. They tweeted out that according to the statement of the Inspector in charge of Mohanganj, there was a dispute between the parties regarding the fact that the opponent’s cow had eaten the fodder of the applicant’s animals. Other allegations made are false and baseless. Further investigations are underway and we should also wait for the official report.
