It was a case to trump all detective stories and left the Bareilly police scratching their heads. A woman came in complaining that her aunt was gangraped and shot. But a day’s investigation left the police with a completely different picture – that of a cooked-up story.\u00a0What astounded them was the length to which the alleged victim – Shamouli – could go to establish it. It needed a bullet, a coin, a quack and extensive imagination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the night of March 29, the Bareilly police received information about a woman being shot near Gandhi Udyan, said Manush Parikh, the city police chief.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The next day, her niece lodged a complaint, saying the woman was coming out of a medical store near a 300-bed hospital after making a purchase, when five men in a black car kidnapped her. She was later gang-raped, shot and thrown near Gandhi Udyan, she alleged.<\/p>\n

It got the police force of the entire city to sit up and get busy with a manhunt – till the medical report came in.<\/p>\n

The report made it clear that the bullet in the woman’s body was not the result of a firearm injury. It was inserted through an operation and the surgical scars were still there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To confirm their growing suspicion, the police checked all the footage from roadside CCTVs. It turned out that woman was travelling in an auto-rickshaw at the time when she was supposed to have been kidnapped.<\/p>\n

The police said during interrogation, the woman confessed that she had earlier blackmailed a public representative and his son. The case was in court and a judgment was expected soon. To avoid that, she had come up with this plan, which had this added advantage of trapping her adversary again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The police said the woman got an employee of the district hospital and a quack from Sanjaynagar to insert the bullet. She then singed the area with a hot coin to mimic the powder burn from a bullet.<\/p>\n

The police said at least three people were involved and the police are investigating the matter further.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two of the accused have been arrested and are in custody. The possibility of more people being involved cannot be ruled out, the police said.<\/p>\n
