On perusal of record, the girl's statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. categorically states that the applicant and his brother Bittu took her to Etawah and then to Bhiwani (Haryana), where the brother committed sexual assault on the body of the minor; there is no denial that the girl went with the applicant and his brother; therefore a prima facie offence under the alleged section is made out.
