Below is a translation of the news.
To hide her affair with her boyfriend, a young girl, concocted a false story of rape, due to which a young man is in jail for more then a month.
A complaint was filed against Malappa Sayabanna Homsani (Age, 21, Resident of Ambegaon Budruk). The victim girl was missing for some days. Police found her in Yavatmal district. She told police that Malappa and his friends. Based on her statement, police arrested Malappa on 25th December 2012. Court granted 10 days of police custody. The victim girl told police that "Malappa kidnapped her on 17th December, and took her to Chandan Nangar in a car. At that place, four men, raped her. On 23rd December, she was taken to Washim. Here again she was raped by three more men.  Later, these men, left her near Yavatmal ghat."
While investigating the case, police found that during the time, that the girl was kidnapped, the prime accused Malappa was in Karnataka state. When police interrogated the girl, they got totally different information. From the last 18 months, the victim girl had a love affair with a man named Omprakash Bansilal Purohit (resident of Chandan Nagar). Her family was opposed to this affair. Hence they both decided to run away, and marry. Accordingly she went to Omprakash's house. After coming home, she didn't knew, what to tell family members. Hence she concocted the false story of rape and kidnapping by Malappa. After this information, police arrested Omprakash, and produced him in court. Under Criminal Procedure Code 169, Police have submitted a report of no evidence against Malappa. Yet court hasn't granted bail to Malappa, but court granted bail to Omprakash. Malappa's lawyer has approached the sessions court for bail. The JMFC judge, H.U.Joshi, has directed Investigating officer, and complainant to appear in court.

India's Supreme Court has consistently said, that "No women will ever make a false statement of rape. Hence verbal statement of a women is enough to convict anyone of rape."
After the senseless mass hysteria over the alledged Delhi Gang rape, there has been a spurt of false rape cases in the country. So much so that media has stopped publishing such news. The above news wasn't flashed at other places. In the past a research done by Pune police had shown that more then 74% cases of rape are in fact consensual sex, which later on become rape. The false rape accusations are consistently on a rise. Add to that, in India women being convicted for perjury is so rare, to the point of being non-existent.

A three member committee was created by the Indian government, who have submitted their report stating that rape accused need to be more harshly punished. Minimum seven years in jail. The news is just in that government has accepted most of the recommendations.
