Indict is someone being charged with a crime.

Condemn is to sentence a murderer to life in prison.

Reprimand is being asked to leave a restaurant by the restaurant manager.

Accuse is to say another person is at fault for doing something wrong.

Allege means to say something unproven or something without any facts to verify it.

So, accuse is the correct meaning for indict.

Could anyone give sentence for indict?

I see no difference between allege and accuse. Indeed, I read in newspaper word allege which is more formal. Such as, Police alleged that he was involved in the crime. Accuse is forceful charge on someone.
