5.2. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner had already approached the Police on 02.06.2026 in relation to repeated messages allegedly being sent by the de facto complainant. It is contended that the WhatsApp communications relied upon by the petitioner allegedly continued even after the dates of the incidents complained of and that this circumstance creates serious doubt regarding the prosecution version. It is also submitted that there was an unexplained delay of about four months in lodging the complaint, which, according to the petitioner, further warrants consideration of his claim for anticipatory bail. It is further contended that the material relevant to the allegations is predominantly documentary and electronic in nature, including hospital records, prescriptions, and WhatsApp communications, and, therefore, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary for the purpose of investigation. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedents, is a reputed Doctor, and has roots in society. Therefore, there is no likelihood of his absconding or evading the process of law. The petitioner is stated to be willing to cooperate with the investigation and undertakes to abide by any conditions that may be imposed. On the aforesaid grounds, learned counsel for the petitioner prays that the petitioner may be enlarged on anticipatory bail, subject to such terms and conditions as may be imposed.
