occasion by the four named accused persons including the petitioner herein. She was subsequently released after four days on police pressure. It is further stated that she disclosed that the accused persons had recorded her objectionable photos and videos and threatened that they would make the same viral. She has once again been kidnapped on 14.11.2024 by the accused persons which was seen by the informant. The informant finally states that he apprehends that she may be sold by them.

¶21

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. No such occurrence as alleged in the FIR has taken place and the petitioner has no concern with the daughter of the informant. It is for this reason that not only the petitioner but his sister, brother and mother had already been made accused. There is no explanation whatsoever for the delay of ten days in lodging of the FIR. In fact, the daughter of the informant was in the habit of leaving her house but used to return back after some days. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are all false and concocted. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

¶22

The application for bail is opposed by learned A.P.P. for the State.
