NO! Renuka is not punishable under section 181 IPC as she had no mensrea or guilty mind or intention. It was only a mistake committed due to oversight and not a knowingly false statement.with ulterior motive tpo gain electorally and hence it is not an electoral offence.

No Doubt it is an punishable offence. Discuss with your Advocate and proceed accordingly filing the complaint. Ignorance of Law would Never be an Excuse.

With what of your own concern do you want to punish her that too anonymously?
