AI now eyeing FIRs of rape and SC/ST cases: Lucknow court’s masterstroke to expose those who make false complaints for compensation!
The special court in its decision regarding fake cases gave necessary instructions to Lucknow Police Commissioner and District Magistrate, relief amount will be given to the victim only after the charge sheet is sent Lucknow- The Special Court for SC/ST Act cases in the capital of Uttar Pradesh has given strict instructions to Lucknow Police, expressing deep concern over the increasing number of fake cases related to atrocities and rape. The court said that in such cases, the old FIRs of those who repeatedly complain should be mandatorily mentioned, so that fake complaints can be curbed. This decision came in the case of lawyer Parmanand Gupta, who had filed a false gangrape case using a Scheduled Caste student Pooja Rawat to implicate two innocent brothers in his wife’s property dispute. The court sentenced Gupta to life imprisonment, as well as advised the police and district administration to use AI tools to deal with fake cases. This decision was pronounced by Special Judge Vivekanand Sharan Tripathi on August 19, 2025, which indicates a tough stand on the misuse of protective laws. The SC/ST Act was made for the benefit of such sections of the society in this country, who suffer from atrocities on the basis of caste by persons of non-SC/ST caste. The purpose of this Act was also to punish the oppressors who commit atrocities against such Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe sections, so that atrocities against SC/ST in the society end and social harmony increases. Special Court, SC/ST Act Court’s concern: Fake FIRs threaten the justice system The court in its decision expressed serious concern over the flood of fake cases related to SC/ST Act and rape. The judge said that false complaints in such cases not only harass the innocent but also undermine the credibility of the real victims. In the judgment, the court said, “The SC/ST Act was made for the benefit of such sections of society in this country, which suffer from atrocities by non-SC/ST caste people on the basis of caste. The purpose of this Act was also to punish the perpetrators of atrocities against such SC/ST classes, so that atrocities against SC/ST in the society end and social harmony increases and the dignity of the person mentioned in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, brotherhood among all the people of India and unity and integrity of the nation can be ensured.” “On the other hand, when criminals like Parmanand Gupta start misusing this Act, then the members of non-SC/ST class, such as backward and upper castes, develop animosity against SC/ST caste people of the society that they are being implicated in false cases without any basis. In a way, this misuse of the Act in the long run, harms the dignity of the person mentioned in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, brotherhood among all the people of India and unity and integrity of the nation. It also harms the mutual brotherhood and the unity and integrity of the nation. Therefore, this court is of the view that there is no need to show any mercy towards such criminals. If drops of sour substances are not stopped from falling in the ocean full of milk, then those drops will spoil and destroy the milk of the entire ocean. Similarly, if an advocate like Parmanand Gupta is not stopped from entering and practicing in the courts by this court, the Hon’ble High Court and the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the Bar Council of India and the Bar Council of UP for committing rape, gang rape and misuse of SC/ST Act, then the public’s faith in the Indian judiciary will be seriously shaken.” Mention of old complaints is mandatory In the decision, the Lucknow Police Commissioner was directed that in the FIR of a person or woman who repeatedly complains of rape, gang rape or under the SC/ST Act, their previous complaints should be mentioned compulsorily. The court said that it should be written as a comment in the FIR that how many times the complainant has lodged such FIRs or given applications in the IGRS portal / police station. This information should also be given when information is sought from the police in cases of FIRs being lodged through the court under Section 173 (4) BNSS. The court advised to use Artificial Intelligence Tools (AI Tools) so that fake cases can be easily identified. These instructions have been given to prevent fake FIRs and save the innocent. Curb on relief amount: Order to stop compensation in fake cases The court directed the District Magistrate, Lucknow to immediately withdraw any relief amount given to Pooja Rawat in Crime No. 40/2025. The judgment said that the relief amount under SC / ST Rules 1995 (10% to 25% at FIR level and 50% on charge sheet) should now be given only on receipt of charge sheet in lump sum, and not on mere registration of FIR. The court said: “The precious money and hard earned money of the taxpayers should be given as compensation to the miscreants who file false FIRs. The provisions of the relief amount made in the schedule Annexure-1 have been given in a graded and phased manner, when a prima facie case is made out, so that on giving a lump sum amount to a person of Scheduled Caste/Tribe, the victim of SC/ST Act may not become a victim of any other crime or violence by the accused who committed atrocities because of the relief amount. Therefore, using the powers prescribed under section 15A (7) of SC/ST Act, the District Magistrate, Lucknow is directed that the relief amount which is made available to the victim on filing of First Information Report for relief amount under SC/ST Atrocities Prevention Rules 1995, respectively (from 10 percent to 25 percent) and 50 percent at the stage of sending the charge sheet, all that amount should be given in lump sum, at the time of filing the charge sheet. This should be provided at the stage of sending the

Dalit girl from Gorakhpur who came to Lucknow to study, used her caste as a weapon: Know who is lawyer Parmanand Gupta who gets false cases registered as if it is a hospital OPD!
Lucknow’s special court awards life imprisonment to lawyer who got more than 30 false cases of SC/ST and rape registered Lucknow- If there is a mastermind for those who misuse the law, it is lawyer Parmanand Gupta! He ran a series of false cases as easily as if someone is getting medicine by getting a prescription in a hospital OPD. We are not saying this, but a Lucknow court has mentioned this in its 94-page order. In a historic verdict, the special court for SC/ST Act cases has sentenced lawyer Parmanand Gupta to life imprisonment, who had registered a fake gangrape and SC/ST atrocities case against two innocent brothers, Arvind Yadav and Awadhesh Yadav. In the trial, it was proved that Gupta got 11 false cases of gang rape and SC/ST Act registered against a 21-year-old Dalit student, Pooja Rawat, who had come to Lucknow to study, by using her caste and documents as a weapon, while Gupta himself filed 18 cases as a lawyer. To meet the expenses of her studies, Pooja came to work in Gupta’s wife Sangeeta’s beauty parlor, and Gupta obtained her identity documents in the name of getting them corrected and later lured her with money and made her join the scheme. All the false cases were filed by Gupta to gain financial benefits and settle personal scores. This shocking scheme was exposed and now the court has sentenced this sick minded lawyer to life imprisonment. This case arose from a property dispute related to Gupta’s wife Sangeeta Gupta, which shows that vulnerable women of Scheduled Castes are being used as weapons in false complaints to extort money and harass rivals. Gupta appeared as Pooja Rawat’s lawyer and instigated her to file a false FIR. On August 19, 2025, Special Judge Vivekanand Sharan Tripathi sentenced advocate Parmanand Gupta to life imprisonment after finding him guilty under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (BNS) and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The special public prosecutor requested the court to consider a total of 29 cases as Parmanand Gupta’s criminal history and said that no advocate gets so many cases registered in his personal name. “Convicted Parmanand Gupta used to get cases registered himself against SC/ST persons against whom SC/ST cases could not be registered or against non-SC persons in respect of whom he thought that his work would be done by merely threatening with a small case, as if he was running the OPD of a hospital. Where there was a serious case, in which a lot of property was involved and where simple threats to the opponent did not work, he used Pooja Rawat to get the cases registered by threatening with SC/ST rape and gang rape cases. It was similar to when a person cannot be treated in the OPD, then he should be sent to the ICU for serious treatment.” The court explained in its order that Gupta misused his professional position and used Pooja Rawat, a 21-year-old SC student from Gorakhpur, who had come to Lucknow for studies, as a weapon for his revenge. Puja, who worked as an assistant at Sangeeta Gupta’s beauty parlour, was lured into the scheme by Gupta by taking her Aadhaar card, caste certificate and other documents on the pretext of correction. They then used these to file false complaints, including this case, where Puja alleged that the Yadav brothers gangraped her at a house in Vibhuti Khand, Lucknow on July 24, 2024. The FIR, filed under crime number 40/2025, registered offences under sections 64, 74, 115(2), 316(2), 324(4), 333, 351(3), 352 BNS, 66D IT Act, and 3(2)(5) SC/ST Act, claiming that pornographic videos were made and threats were issued. An investigation by Assistant Superintendent of Police Radha Raman Singh revealed that the entire story was fabricated. Location data retrieved from mobile CDRs and call records revealed that Puja was nowhere near the alleged crime scene, an under-construction house owned by the Yadavs, in the period from March 1 to July 24, 2024. Medical examination revealed no signs of assault, and Puja refused an internal examination, later admitting to being under pressure from Gupta. Local witnesses confirmed that Puja was never seen as a tenant, and the property was in the possession of the Yadavs for years, where construction was underway. The investigation also revealed that Gupta’s wife had a civil suit (Case No. 747/2024) pending on Khasra No. 351L, which was adjacent to the Yadavs’ Khasra No. 76, and that the false rape allegation was a pressure ploy to settle the land dispute. Puja exposes Gupta’s criminal conspiracy The turning point in the case came when Puja Rawat, on realising her mistake, applied to become a witness under Sections 343 and 344 BNS on August 4, 2025. Pardon was granted on the condition that she state the truth, and Puja revealed in court that Gupta and his wife took advantage of her weakness. She said Gupta used her Scheduled Caste status to file several false complaints against his enemies, promising her a share of compensation from the government’s SC/ST relief schemes. Puja said in her chief testimony, “Parmanand Gupta, advocate, took my Aadhaar card, photo, income certificate, caste certificate, residence proof and PAN card on the pretext of correction. Using these, he registered a case in my name without my knowledge.” She said Gupta prepared her statements for the magistrate and the police, under which she had to claim gang rape. Puja’s cross-examination further exposed the conspiracy. She admitted that after the FIR, she received an interim relief of Rs 75,000 from the government, but Gupta kept all the money. “He said if I give a statement as per his instructions, I will get the money, but he kept everything,” she said. An attempt to intimidate the court by Gupta through video conferencing, in which he demanded to change Puja’s lawyer, was rejected to prevent molestation. The court referred to Puja’s crucial testimony: “I am a BA second year student and came to Lucknow

‘Entire country knows he steals votes’: Rahul Gandhi’s big charge on PM Modi; Bihar yatra reaches Bhagalpur
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday mounted a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP-led NDA government, accusing them of attempting ‘vote theft’ in Bihar and betraying the country’s youth with policies that ‘destroy employment opportunities.’ “The entire country now knows that Narendra Modi steals votes,” Gandhi alleged. Addressing a massive public rally in Bhagalpur during the ongoing ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’, Gandhi alleged that the Modi government and the Election Commission were working together to snatch away citizens’ constitutional right to vote. “The SIR is an attempt by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP and the EC to steal your votes. They are trying their best to snatch your voting rights. The ‘vote chor’ came to Gayaji, but he did not say even a word on his government’s attempt to steal votes with the help of the EC,” Gandhi said. He alleged that though PM Modi visited Bihar earlier in the day, he remained silent on alleged irregularities in the Maharashtra and Karnataka elections as well as the crisis in Manipur. He attacked Modi for maintaining “silence” on irregularities in elections. “The SIR is an attempt by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP and the EC to steal your votes. They are trying their best to snatch your voting rights. The ‘vote chor’ came to Gayaji, but he did not say even a word on his government’s attempt to steal votes with the help of the EC,” the Congress leader said. Invoking the Constitution, Gandhi said all citizens are equal and every person has one vote, but alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Election Commission are attacking it by canceling votes. He cited the case of a voter who told him his vote was canceled by the EC after he had voted for Congress in the Lok Sabha elections. “Constitution guarantees equal rights to everyone; but PM and EC are snatching people’s right to vote,” he alleged. The leader of opposition also accused the Modi government of pushing the youth into despair. “Young people study for months to get a job, then take exams. But… on the day of the exam, the paper gets leaked. The situation is such that the youth cannot find employment in this state”. Lashing out at the Agniveer scheme, Gandhi said the government had ended secure jobs in the armed forces. “Earlier, millions of our youth used to join the army. They protected the country, received pensions, and were taken care of. Today, an Agniveer has lost his hand, but no help is being provided to him. He has been removed from his job and sent back home.” Gandhi also recalled demonetisation, GST and the now-repealed farm laws, alleging that every measure of this government is anti-poor. During the rally, Gandhi said that even attempts to suppress the yatra by cutting electricity would fail. “Here, they have cut off the electricity, thinking that cutting the power will silence the voice, but the voice does not stop in the darkness; it is heard.” he remarked. The Bhagalpur event marked the sixth day of the 1,300-km, 16-day yatra launched on August 17, which will pass through more than 20 districts of Bihar before concluding with a rally at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan on September 1. Congress leaders from Karnataka will also be joining the yatra. Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar will walk with Gandhi over the weekend in Katihar district, while chief minister Siddaramaiah will join on August 29.

Rahul Gandhi
Patna/Bhagalpur: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ gathered momentum on Friday as it moved through Munger and Bhagalpur, drawing large crowds and sharp political reactions. The yatra, aimed at highlighting alleged irregularities in the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, entered its sixth day with colourful displays of alliance flags and enthusiastic supporters lining the streets. Rahul, accompanied by RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, CPI-ML general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, VIP chief Mukesh Sahani and Purnia MP Pappu Yadav, covered a 52-km stretch in Bhagalpur after a roadshow in Munger. The procession passed through minority and Yadav-dominated areas before entering Bhagalpur, where large gatherings greeted the cavalcade at Sultanganj, Akbarnagar, Nathnagar, Asanandpur and Ghanta Ghar Chowk. In Munger, the INDIA bloc leaders visited the historic Khanqah Rahmani mosque in Jamalpur, established in 1901 by Hazrat Maulana Mohammad Ali Mungri. Sitting on the ground, Rahul and his colleagues interacted with scholars. Many supporters of AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi were also present. According to some in the crowd, “the minority community is not being given due respect or representation within the INDIA bloc.” Speaking in Bhagalpur, Rahul launched a blistering attack on the NDA. Accusing the Centre and the Bihar govt of “vote chori” (stealing votes) through the SIR, he said, “The modalities adopted for SIR are aimed at depriving electorates of their right to vote. The governments at the Centre and in Bihar know they have lost public support, and this revision was undertaken out of fear of defeat.” Rahul alleged that past elections may also have been manipulated. “The present govts do not care about people’s issues because they win by manipulations and not by people’s support,” he said. Urging vigilance, he told the gathering, “If your names are deleted, protest. We will not allow the NDA to destroy the sanctity of free and fair elections. Stand up and support the INDIA alliance to protect voters’ rights.” Congress leader Syed Zeejah Hussain, who joined the march, said, “Going by the people’s enthusiasm and the support Rahul Gandhi is receiving, it appears Bihar is ready for change. It has also brought the Congress back to the mainstream of state politics.” Courtesy : TOI Note: This news is originally published on https:/timesofindia.com/bha and is used purely for non-profit/non-commercial purposes, especially human rights.
Akhilesh to join ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav will soon be a part of the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ underway in Bihar later this month. The former UP CM is in talks with senior functionaries of the Cong and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RLD) to finalise the schedule and itinerary of his participation. At present being led by leader of opposition (LoP) and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, the Yatra is scheduled to end on September 1. There were reports that the SP chief will join the Yatra in Sitamarhi (Bihar) on August 28. This will be the first time that Akhilesh will join Rahul Gandhi in a political agitation outside UP. Earlier, Akhilesh did become a part of Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra when it entered UP In February 2024. “Our party chief has agreed to be a part of the Voter Adhikar Yatra. There are some tentative dates for it as well, but the final schedule is being discussed with top functionaries of the Congress as well as the RJD,” said a senior SP functionary in Lucknow. This is for the first time that a confirmation of Akhilesh joining the Yatra has come from SP. He said the SP chief’s participation in the Voter Adhikar Yatra will only add more firepower to the tirade as he himself has been at the receiving end of rampant anomalies in voters’ list. “We had filed 18,000 affidavits with the ECI in 2022 over mass anomalies in electoral rolls for assembly polls. Rahul Gandhi’s recent expose of rampant manipulation in the voter list of the Bengaluru Central constituency for 2024 Lok Sabha polls has established that the irregularities had a pan-India design. Participation of SP chief will send a message that the issue does not only concern Bihar where elections are due in a few months from now, but is linked to India as a whole,” the SP functionary said. If sources in SP are to be believed, top Congress functionaries are in touch with other India Bloc partners as well for their participation in the Voter Adhikar Yatra. “Participation of some more India Bloc in Yatra in the days to come, cannot be ruled out,” said the SP functionary. In political circles, Akhilesh’s participation in the Voter Adhikar Yatra is being seen as the beginning of a conscious effort to give the Yatra a pan-India shade. For the Cong in general and Rahul Gandhi in particular the coming together of India Bloc members under the Voter Adhikar Yatra banner will help the grand old party re-enforce its stature as the “big brother” of the opposition alliance. For the SP, it is sure to strengthen the bonhomie with the Congress which will help them to put up a united face to contest 2027 assembly polls as alliance partners in UP. The Voter Adhikar Yatra began at Saura Aerodrome Ground near Dehri in Sasaram (Bihar) and is scheduled to culminate into a grand rally at the historic Gandhi Maidan in Patna on September 1.

Tamil Nadu: Dalit youth kidnapped, forced to bow down to upper caste men
Police in Usilampatti, Madurai, have booked six caste Hindus for allegedly abducting and humiliating a Scheduled Caste teenager by forcing him to prostrate before them. Though the incident took place on January 16, the FIR was registered only two days later. The 17-year-old victim, a resident of Sankampatti village, was reportedly taken by members of the dominant caste when he returned home during the Pongal holidays. According to his complaint, he was beaten, subjected to casteist abuse, and forced to bow down before each member of the group — including a six-year-old child. “They released him only after learning that the police had been alerted,” said advocate Deviammal, a relative of the boy. She further alleged that the attackers urinated on the teenager before letting him go. The Neelam Cultural Centre criticised the police for delaying the case and accused them of protecting the accused. “The FIR was filed only on January 18 despite the complaint being lodged on January 16. This delay reflects police bias,” the group posted on X. The FIR has named six individuals and includes charges under sections 296(b) and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with sections 3(1)(r) and 3(1)(s) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. While police acknowledged the registration of the case, they denied the allegation of urination. “The case has been filed on the basis of the complaint. The urination claim is not true. Investigation is ongoing,” the police statement read. The boy, currently receiving treatment at Usilampatti government hospital, is said to be deeply traumatised. Deviammal also disputed the police’s claim about his age, stating, “He is 17, not 19. The officials are trying to weaken the case.” Courtesy : Muslim Mirror Note: This news is originally published on https:/muslimmirror.com/bha and is used purely for non-profit/non-commercial purposes, especially human rights
