Woman gets bullet put in chest to frame mayor

MEERUT: This had all the makings of a revenge drama - until the cookie crumbled.
A woman, 40, in

Bareilly

, Uttar Pradesh, fabricated a tale of her kidnapping, gang rape, and even had a bullet implanted in her chest in an attempt to falsely implicate the city's mayor and his son, but ran out of luck as

CCTV

footage and medical evidence caught up with her.
She was arrested, along with two of her accomplices.

Police said she was dismissed as a domestic help by the mayor's wife in 2021, which might have prompted her into cooking up a ghastly tale to settle scores.
Confirming there was no abduction, police said the bullet that the accused claimed was lodged in her chest had not been fired at all.
