The statement of the informant recorded during investigation under Section 180 BNSS is produced by learned counsel for the State. It is submitted that the informant is at present staying with her parents and nearly after two months from the last incident, the report was lodged. The further submission is that the allegation is against all. Learned counsel for the State however submits that the allegation against the accused father-in-law is serious and she attempted to outrage modesty of the informant as revealed during investigation. Considering the above facts and submissions of learned counsels for the respective parties, this Court is not inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to any of them but is of the view that the petitioners should be directed to surrender before the learned court below for orders. 5.
