PATHANAMTHITTA: In a dramatic turn of events, the Pathanamthitta police have revealed that the sexual harassment complaint raised by a 13-year-old girl against her minor classmates was completely fabricated. According to the latest statement given by the girl, she cooked up the story simply because a particular classmate did not reciprocate her romantic feelings. Following this revelation, the local police department has officially decided to drop all further legal proceedings and close the investigation. Notably, the girl did not mention any instance of sexual assault in her official statements recorded before both the police team and the judicial magistrate.
A detailed medical examination also legally established that the minor girl was never subjected to any form of sexual abuse or physical violation. The girl subsequently changed her earlier statement, explicitly clarifying that none of her classmates had assaulted her. Earlier, following glaring contradictions in her initial narrative, the police had safely released the minors who were taken into custody for questioning. Initially, the girl had listed the names of ten individuals, all of whom were traced by the police, leading to the temporary detention of six of them. The initial complaint had alleged that she was assaulted in the school washroom. In light of the current developments, the police will rigorously investigate the exact circumstances that led the girl to give such a false and misleading statement to Childline in the first place.
