POCSO and blackmail POCSO and blackmail

7 months ago

Please help sir, I am in a big trouble. Sir, a girl who was minor met me in a wedding. She sent me request on instagram and kept asking me to get into relationship. Initially, I was avoiding her but After a period, I also said yes but I didn't know her age at that time as she lied about it(Her actual age was16 then). So, then one day she asked me to pick her up and we roamed in my car. She wanted to stay the night with me in hotel. But, since my parents don't allow me to stay anywhere for the night, so I couldn't accept her proposal. Then she told me to drop at her some sister's place which I did. I later found out she was not informing her parents about the night out. So her parents somehow got my contact and suspected her to be with me. Her phone was off meanwhile. And, I did tell her parents about her whereabout. Her parents then found her the next day in a boys room( which earlier she told me to be her some sister's room). But, then the girl took U turn and blamed everything on me for raping her on the pretext of marriage and abandoning her on the road. The boy who she stayed with was released as she blamed me and told police that the boy saved and gave shelter for the night to her as she was abandoned on the road. I was sent to jail for 2 months in POCSO case and then got bail. Now, the scene is that she is asking me an iPhone to settle the case in court(she's ready to give a statement supporting me) . She is saying that she would convince her parents to settle the case after she gets the phone. I am willing to meet her demand but I can't trust her. Can you suggest something that I can get rid of the case even if I have to give her the iphone ( I have already bought it and it is with me ). How can I make sure that she will be doing what she is saying. Also, to be noted that she has already given her statement once against me in the court already. Can I somehow prove in the court that she is blackmailing me to get a phone to settle the fake case. Please, reply .

A.Dear Sir,
If any FIR is registered against you then you must challenge the same for quashing before High court. You must take the defense that you do not know the her age and all other allegations are false.
