A
woman from Maubin, Ayeyawady Region who reported a knifepoint robbery to
Kyeemyindine Police was convicted of false accusations and for filing a false
police report yesterday.
Ma
Hlaing Hnin Wai told police that on 7 February at 6 a.m, she hired a taxi near
Tayettaw Monastery in Lanmadaw Township on Bogyoke Road to travel to Pansodan
to meet her parents. She reported to police that, instead of going to Pansodan,
the cab driver headed towards Myanigone Township. She reported that another man
entered the car while at a red light and made off with her VIVO mobile phone
and purse containing Ks500,000. The driver then allegedly dropped her off near
the Old Thirimingalar market in Kyeemyindine. After a thorough
cross-examination and reviewing CCTV records along the road, it was found that
her accusations were false. She was sentenced to 3 months of hard labour. Her
motive for the false report could not be determined.
