Section 228 of BNS : Section 228: Fabricating false evidence.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi is involved in a property dispute with his neighbor, Suresh. To strengthen his case, Ravi creates a fake sale deed showing that Suresh had sold the disputed property to him years ago. Ravi then submits this fake document as evidence in court, hoping that the judge will believe it and rule in his favor. By doing this, Ravi has fabricated false evidence.

Example 2:

Priya is accused of embezzling funds from her company. To divert suspicion, she plants some of the stolen money in her colleague Anil's locker and then anonymously tips off the company's internal audit team. When the audit team finds the money in Anil's locker, they suspect him of the crime. Priya has fabricated false evidence to mislead the investigation and frame Anil.

Example 3:

During a tax evasion investigation, Rajesh, a businessman, alters the financial records of his company to show lower profits and reduced tax liability. He submits these falsified records to the tax authorities, hoping to avoid paying higher taxes. Rajesh has fabricated false evidence by making false entries in his financial records.

Example 4:

Sunita is involved in a legal battle over the custody of her child. To make her ex-husband, Ramesh, look unfit for custody, she creates fake medical reports showing that Ramesh has a history of mental illness. She submits these fake reports in court, hoping that the judge will deny Ramesh custody based on this false information. Sunita has fabricated false evidence.

Example 5:

Amit is accused of participating in a criminal conspiracy. To clear his name, he writes a letter pretending to be from the actual conspirator, confessing to the crime and exonerating Amit. He then plants this letter in a place where the police are likely to find it during their investigation. Amit has fabricated false evidence by creating a false document intended to mislead the authorities.
