However, a test result handed over to the court indicated that the accused was never pregnant as she alleged in her cautioned statement.
The accused had told the court that she had missed her period for two months of which she assumed pregnancy, but when the police arrested and allegedly beat her up, she bled which made her to believe that it was a miscarriage.
