In terms of the FIR it was alleged that daughter of the informant aged about 14 years was enticed by some unknown person. In the statement under Section 180 BNSS, the victim stated that she was enticed on false pretext of marriage and thereafter both of them had gone to Lucknow. It was also stated that nothing wrong was done to her. In her statement under Section 183 BNSS, the victim stated that she had gone to Fatehpur and thereafter to Lucknow and when she was taken, wrong was done on her. Medical report on record does not corroborate the allegation. There is no definite document with regard to the exact age of the victim which is tentatively 15 years. 4.
