New Delhi: Months after he was arrested for burglary in his own house, an 18-year-old boy allegedly made a plan to take revenge against his businessman father by implicating him in a rape case. However, within two days of a woman filing a complaint against his father of raping her, police managed to unravel the conspiracy.
The teenage son Harkesh was angry at his father, Ashok, for "beating his mother and being indifferent to family" and had warned him that he will implicate his father in a false case, police said. In December 2012, Harkesh and his friend Raza were arrested for the burglary in the former's house in Faridabad. Later, he hatched a conspiracy to implicate his father and made a woman, who was later identified as Raza's wife, to file a complaint that an unidentified man raped her after giving her lift in his car.
