Delhi court acquits rape accused, orders perjury action

A Delhi court has cleared a man of rape charges after finding the woman's story didn't add up.
They'd met on a matrimonial site, but the court noticed big contradictions in her statements and found no technical or scientific proof to support her accusations.

TL;DR

Accused had been in touch with woman before incident

Turns out, the woman had filed similar police cases against four other people and stayed in touch with this accused before the alleged incident.
CCTV footage didn't match her version, and she'd used different names and claimed she was unmarried on her profile.
The judge warned that false accusations hurt real victims and asked police to look into possible collusion for extortion.
