Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA and perused the record. 2. The accused-applicant seeks bail in FIR/Case Crime No.0218 of 2025 under sections 64, 115(2) BNS and section 3/4 POCSO Act, P.S. Ajgain, District Unnao. 3. In terms of the FIR, it was alleged that, at about 10:00 AM, the daughter of the informant, aged about 15 years, had gone out of the home when the applicant misbehaved with her and touched her inappropriately. No allegation of rape was lavelled. However, in the statement under section 180 BNSS the allegation of rape was levelled. In the statement of the victim under section 183, the victim stated that when she shouted, her mother came, after which the applicant ran away. The medical on record does not corroborate the allegations. There is no definite document with regard to the exact age of the victim. 4. Considering the huge difference in the version as stated in the FIR and the two statements, the applicant who is in custody since 23-06-2025 and has no criminal history, he is entitled to bail.
