Supreme Court upholds anticipatory bail granted to former Andaman Chief Secretary Jitendra Narain in gang-rape case

After a woman accused Narain of rape and sexual abuse, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) placed him under suspension and initiated disciplinary proceedings against him. The allegations include having sexual intercourse with the prosecutrix on two occasions without her consent. A first information report (FIR) was registered against him on October 1.

Narain’s counsel had told the Delhi High Court last month that the FIR against his client was registered on the basis of a complaint by the daughter-in-law of a person who was removed from service after Narain passed an order imposing a minor penalty on him.

It was also stated that on the dates of the alleged incident, he was not in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, but in Delhi, and therefore, the complaint is motivated.
