      Of course, such serious contradictions in the statement of the complainant will adversely affect the case of the prosecution. How far these contractions will affect the prosecution case will depend on the facts and circumstances of the case, and also whether there are other reliable witnesses or other evidence in the case on behalf of the prosecution. It is not possible to comment on the individual case on the basis of facts, more so, when facts are not even revealed in the question.
