Pramila,
I can understand that the HR and management feel cheated if an employee leaves giving wrong reasons, but such are the ways of the world. The only thing in your control is if the appointment letter has a clause of notice period or salary in lieu thereof and if you have not issued a release letter specifically mentioning that her notice period has been waived off, then you can deduct the short notice period salary from her final settlement. If the settlement has already been done, then you can send a mail asking her to pay for the short notice period. If in the BGV report there is a section that asks the reason for leaving, you can mention the reason given by her. I do not see any harm in telling the truth. Just like we have a responsibility towards our ex-employees, we also have a responsibility towards our colleagues in the HR fraternity.

When an employee is officially relieved based on her request and consent given by the employer, there should be no question if the employee was not served the notice period as per her appointment order, as that can be recovered from her Full and Final (FNF) settlement.
Before making any deduction, please ensure whether the condition has been mentioned in her appointment order.
However, you should not consider her as absconded in this case.
