18 year old Anaseini Tamanikawa who allegedly falsified information that she was abducted by unknown men in Lautoka last week, has been remanded in custody by Magistrate Seinikavika Jiuta.
She has been charged with one count of giving false information to a public servant.
The Police prosecutor objected to bail stressing the amount of resources that was used for the investigation and adding fear to the general public especially spreading the wrong message to young girls.
The prosecutor also asked the Magistrate to remand the 18 year old woman as investigations are continuing and to teach would be offenders if they tend to use the same tactics.
The case has been adjourned to 9th November.
Meanwhile Police say two other suspects are also being questioned along the same lines of giving false information to a public servant as investigations continue.
