Woman sentenced to hard labour for false police report



February 8, 2018
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.
