false accusation

A false accusation occurs when someone claims another person committed a wrongdoing or crime, but the accusation is incorrect or untrue. This can happen intentionally, such as to harm someone's reputation, or unintentionally, due to misunderstandings or mistaken identity. False accusations can have serious consequences, affecting personal, professional, and legal aspects of a person’s life. It's important to investigate claims thoroughly before drawing conclusions, ensuring justice and fairness for all parties involved.
