My girlfriend cheated me and extorted money

by Shivendra Pratap Singh | Jun 16, 2021 | Criminal Law

My girlfriend cheated on me and extorted a lot of money. She and I had been in a relationship for more than two years. We were classmates. During the relationship, my girlfriend made many false stories about her family. She cheated me with those false stories and took huge money from me. Sometimes I had transferred money in her bank account. We were in a physical relationship and love each other. 

I had faith in her and gave her jewelry, electronic gadgets, mobile, laptop etc. She has deceived me with the intention to take money from me. After completion of education she joined a company in Chennai. She is dating another guy. Now she is not picking my phone and has cut off all communications. I want to file a case against her for cheating and extortion of money. Please guide me.

Both cheating and extortion are considered criminal offenses under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), with deception and inducing fear being the key components of these crimes. In your case, you claim that your girlfriend cheated on you and extorted money from you, but there is no evidence to support these allegations.

Without proof of your girlfriend's deceptive behavior, you cannot accuse her of cheating. Although you were in a consensual sexual relationship, you cannot claim that she fraudulently or dishonestly induced you to give her money, jewelry, or other items.

According to Section 415 of the IPC, cheating occurs when someone deceives another person and fraudulently induces them to deliver property or to do something they would not do otherwise. Since there is no evidence of inducement or deception on your girlfriend's part, it is difficult to prove that she cheated on you.

Similarly, there is no evidence that your girlfriend extorted money from you. According to Section 383 of the IPC, extortion occurs when someone intentionally puts another person in fear of injury and then dishonestly induces them to deliver property or valuable security. However, there is no indication that your girlfriend threatened you or coerced you into giving her money or other items. Therefore, your allegation that she extorted money from you is unfounded.

In conclusion, accusing your girlfriend of cheating or extortion without sufficient evidence is not justified. While you may feel hurt or betrayed by your relationship, making false allegations can have serious legal consequences.
