This application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed by the applicant, who is the wife of the accused, praying for release of the accused, namely, Mohammad Salam Khureshi, who has been arrested on 30.06.2025 in connection with Itanagar Women P.S. Case No. Page No.# 2/3 40/2025 under Sections 64(2)/75(2)/77/79/351(2) of the BNS, 2023. One 33 year old married woman was maintaining an extra marital relationship with the present accused/petitioner for a long time. During that relationship, the accused/petitioner allegedly took her obscene photographs. Later on, the informant came to know that the accused was already married. After knowing this, the informant wanted to stop her relationship with the accused/petitioner but the accused/petitioner allegedly used to blackmail her by showing those photographs and continued his relationship with her. I have considered the submissions of the learned counsels for both the sides. The accused/petitioner has been in custody for nearly more than 5(five) months. This Court is of the considered opinion that, under the given circumstances, he no longer deserves to be detained in custody for further period of time. His bail application is allowed. The accused/petitioner, namely, Mohammad Salam Khureshi, who was arrested in connection with Itanagar Women P.S.
