?Which word?

allegation or accusation?

An allegation is a claim that somebody has done wrong, made without proof and often not yet tested: 'allegations of fraud'. An accusation is a direct charge, which may be formal: 'He was arrested on an accusation of theft.' Alleged means claimed but not proved: 'the alleged thief'.

Allegation बिना प्रमाण का दावा है कि किसी ने गलत किया, जो प्रायः अभी जाँचा नहीं गया, जैसे 'allegations of fraud'। Accusation सीधा आरोप है, जो औपचारिक भी हो सकता है, जैसे 'He was arrested on an accusation of theft'। Alleged का अर्थ 'दावा किया गया पर सिद्ध नहीं' है, जैसे 'the alleged thief'।

§Grammar and usage

Note: an allegation is made against somebody; the newspapers say 'alleged' to avoid libel.

ध्यान रखिए: allegation किसी के against लगाया जाता है; अखबार libel से बचने के लिए 'alleged' लिखते हैं।
