Learned Senior Counsel further submits that in her subsequent statement recorded under Section 183 of the B.N.S.S., the prosecutrix has materially improved and changed her version by alleging that the applicant, along with two other persons, forcibly abducted her, confined her, and established physical relations without her consent, while also extending threats. It is submitted that such material contradictions in the statements of the prosecutrix create serious doubt regarding the veracity of the prosecution case. 8. It is further submitted that the earlier statement of the prosecutrix, as well as the surrounding circumstances, indicate that the relationship between the parties was consensual in nature and attention has also been drawn to the statements of the applicant’s mother and neighbours recorded during investigation, wherein they have not supported the allegation of confinement or illegal detention of the prosecutrix.

Learned Senior Counsel submits that the applicant is in judicial custody
