From first article:
'In a shocking twist to the Nagaland lynching case, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Saturday said that 'unconfirmed medical reports' show that the complainant in the case was not raped.

Speaking to NDTV, Gogoi said, "it is up to the Nagaland government to come out with the facts. We have received an unofficial report of no rape." The chief minister further said that the accused Syed Khan was not an illegal immigrant and was a citizen of India.

Moreover, the brother of the accused, Jamal Uddin Khan, corroborated Gogoi's remarks, saying his brother had been made a scapegoat in the case and that the police was hand-in-glove with certain Naga groups.

"Is the Nagaland government running a jungle raj? The girl who filed the rape complaint was my brother's wife's cousin. Nagaland police have said that the medical reports say she was not raped," Jamal Khan told NDTV, adding that several of his family members were working in the country's armed forces and they were all Indian.

The victim, however, said she was given money by the accused after the assault to remain silent. "Rumours that I did this for money are false. The police arrested him the very same day. I did not think he would be attacked like this," she said.'
