In terms of the FIR, it was alleged by the informant that on 27.06.2025, when she was sleeping at home, the applicant came home and started misbehaving with her and hold her hand. No allegation of rape was levelled. In the statement under Section 180 of BNS also, no allegation of rape was levelled, however, after about three months, the victim changed her statement and stated that on the same day, rape was also committed. The medical on the victim conducted on three occasions naturally did not corroborate the allegation. 4. Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the bail prayer. Sri Raghvendra Pratap Singh, learned Counsel for the complainant also strongly opposed the bail prayer, however, he could not justify the huge variance in the statement under Sections 180 and 183 of BNSS.
