In a shocking twist, the Pune Police have revealed that the 22-year-old woman techie filed a rape case against her friend "out of anger" as he allegedly forced himself on her.
"She said she wasn't ready for what happened (sexual intercourse) that day, but her friend forced her into it anyway. So out of anger, she filed a complaint with the police that she was raped," NDTV quoted Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar as saying.
Earlier, at a press conference, Kumar busted many accusations made by the woman, including that a delivery boy had raped her after forcibly entering her apartment. Moreover, the selfie in question was taken with the consent of both, and it was the woman who edited the photo and typed a threatening message on her phone after he left her place, the CP added.

"During our investigation, we obtained a clear image of the accused from CCTV cameras installed on the society premises. However, when the picture was shown to the woman, she refused to identify him," Kumar said.
"Despite this, our teams continued working from various angles to trace the suspect, as no one other than this individual had accessed the particular floor where the woman lives. We also showed the photo to residents of the housing society, but none of them recognised him," he added.
The CP said that even though the woman denied knowing the person in the photo, "our team persisted with the investigation."
"By tracking the movement of his motorcycle across different localities and checking volumes of footage from five to six CCTV cameras, we were able to trace him near a firm in Baner," the officer said.
The suspect was detained, and technical analysis confirmed his mobile location near the victim's apartment on Wednesday, he said, adding that further verification established that he was the same person seen in the CCTV footage.
During questioning, it emerged that the man had visited the woman's house on Wednesday night with her consent. "She was aware that he was coming over, and he was not posing as a courier delivery agent. There was no forced entry, and no spray was used. He was known to the victim," he said.

About the selfie, he said that it was taken with the consent of both the woman and the accused. "It was also revealed that the text message on the photo was drafted on the victim's phone after the man had left. Prima facie, it appears that the victim herself added the text to the image," he added.
