Woman Alleges Husband Forced Her to File False Gang Rape Complaint in Bengaluru

Bengaluru, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : A disturbing incident has emerged from Bismillah Nagar in Bengaluru, where a woman has accused her husband of coercing her to file a false gang rape complaint. The woman, Zara Amina, reported that her husband, Muheez Ahmed, threatened her with a gun and physically assaulted her to force her to make the allegations against his perceived enemies.

Zara approached the police in Siddaguntepalya, detailing a pattern of physical and mental abuse that escalated since their marriage in 2017. She claimed that her troubles began even before their marriage, when she was a minor and her family was struggling financially. According to Zara, her husband had promised financial support and employment, but instead, the abuse began soon after their wedding.

She recounted, “My father was in debt, and he promised to help us. Since then, the torment has only increased. He has been suspicious of me for the past year and has become increasingly violent.” Zara alleged that her husband regularly threatened her with a firearm and pressured her to provide false statements about being gang-raped.

In her account, she described a recent incident where Muheez brandished a gun and assaulted her, stating, “He verbally abuses and beats me almost daily. Now he is pushing me for a divorce so he can marry for a third time. He threatens to kill me if I don’t comply with his demands.”

Zara’s mother, Sameena, shared that she had lost her husband and was struggling to support her three children. She recounted how community elders had initially encouraged the marriage, which has now turned into a nightmare. “It has been nearly ten years, but he continues to fight with us and file complaints against our family,” she said.

The family also alleged that Muheez had disputes over Zara’s property and had previously locked up his brother-in-law during a conflict. Following an earlier complaint, police had intervened, warning Muheez after investigating the matter.

Zara has since filed a formal complaint with the police and undergone a medical examination as part of the ongoing investigation.
