The case took a dramatic turn when investigation revealed that the 'delivery agent' was woman's friend and who visited the flat with her consent. 

"The evidence, including phone chats, the sequence of events, mobile communication, and the conduct of the woman points out that it is not a case of rape. The complaint filed by her was entirely false and misleading," Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar said. 

Police are yet to decide the potential action against the woman, Kumar added.
