In terms of the FIR, it was alleged that the applicant had misbehaved with the daughter of the informant aged about 16 years and he was caught. No allegation of rape were levelled. Subsequently, in the statement under section 180 BNSS, the victim admitted that she knew the applicant for the last two years and on 23.07.2025, he came to meet her and misbehaved to which she objected and when parents came, he ran away. However, in the statement under section 183 BNSS, the victim admitted that she used to talk to the applicant and on various occasions, physical relations were formed at the home of the uncle and now he was refusing to marry her. 4. Considering the huge inconsistencies in the two statements, coupled with the fact that there is no corroboration in the medical report, the applicant who is in custody since 07.08.2025 and has no criminal history is entitled for the bail.
