Advocate Mohammed Mujasim, who represented the complainant, filed a memo with a copy of the nude photographs taken of the victim, a video which had been taken of the assault, along with newspaper articles regarding the attempt at extortion of the victim.
The High Court Government Pleader RD Renukaradhya appearing for the State, said that the photographs clearly disclosed that the victim was subjected to assault and the victim’s statement before the police was very clear and the matter is under investigation.
Hence, he contended that taking into note of the gravity of the offences and seriousness of the allegations made in the complaint, it would not be a fit case to grant bail to the petitioner.
The Court agreed with the State and the complainant, and refused to grant relief.
