KOCHI: The Kerala high court has quashed a false case registered against a rape survivor by men allegedly employed by her rapist to prevent her from attending proceedings in the case. The survivor had argued the case herself in court.Kalamassery police had registered the case against the 30-year-old survivor, a doctor, on a complaint filed by Rajeesh Babu P N (34) last year. A case was registered against Rajeesh and others also on charges that they obstructed the doctor while she was taking her car out of her house.The survivor argued that the case was false and the alleged incident, like similar incidents earlier, had occurred on days preceding proceedings in the rape case. Rajeesh’s statement said he was slapped on the right cheek while the doctor noticed tenderness on both sides of the face. I reported this to the department through registered posts with acknowledgement, but to no avail,” she said..
